As part of the 48th Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, the European social partners in the audiovisual sector (CEPI, EURO-MEI, FIAPF, FIA and FIM) are organising a free workshop on health and safety risk assessment in audiovisual production.
The workshop will take place on 4 and 5 February and will address key psychosocial risks related to filming and the management of cast and crew, including the prevention of stress, burnout, harassment and violence, as well as aspects of intimacy coordination.
The French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) will take part, and participants will have the opportunity to test and familiarise themselves with the OiRA tools available for audiovisual productions.
Data from EU-OSHA’s fourth European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2024) is now available through the data visualisation tool.
The interactive tool allows users to filter results by topic and preferred chart type, and to explore statistics by sector, establishment size and/or country in an engaging way.

A new online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tool is now available in Cyprus to help companies identify risks associated with telework and plan robust prevention measures.
The telework tool is not limited to one sector; any organisation with staff working from home can use it, and it can be used alongside existing sector-based OiRA tools.
It walks users through key challenges such as home-workspace set-up and ergonomics, lighting and air quality, and psychosocial risks.
Based on the EU-level OiRA telework model, it joins national versions already developed in Portugal and Latvia, making it easier for employers to improve safety and health when work is done away from the usual workplace.
