Aim
The guide aims at helping employers to successfully manage occupational safety and health (OSH) in line with the EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and the other OSH Directives.
The Directive establishes a fourth list of indicative occupational exposure limit values.
The Healthy Workplaces Summit is the culmination of a number of successful campaign milestones aimed at raising awareness about the need to work sustainably, including: two European Weeks for Safety and Health at Work; one European Good Practice Awards; and two Healthy Workplaces Film Awards.
Healthy Workplaces for All Ages was a decentralised campaign open to organisations and individuals at local, national and European levels. It was coordinated at the national level by EU-OSHA’s focal points in more than 30 European countries, and supported by official campaign partners — pan-European and multinational organisations and the campaign media partners.
Directive 2014/68/EU applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of stationary pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar.
The Healthy Workplaces Film Award honours documentaries on work-related topics as part of EU‑OSHA’s Europe-wide Healthy Workplaces Campaigns. The award is presented annually at the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film (DOK Leipzig), held this year between 30 October and 5 November 2017.
DOK Leipzig is one of the most significant festivals for documentary and animated films in the world, and this year it celebrates its 60th anniversary. It has hosted the Healthy Workplaces Film Award since 2009.
On 26 and 27 September 2017, EU-OSHA hosted a seminar in Bilbao to discuss OSH e-tools for dangerous substances. The main objectives of the seminar were to share experiences and information about the development, adaptation, use, promotion and...
2017 Healthy Workplaces Film Award winners
Before the bridge | USA | Lewis Wilcox
This is a short documentary film with the mission to spread awareness about how automation will affect the future of humanity. Clear views from a driving car of post-apocalyptic scenarios: ruined factory buildings, dilapidated houses, heavy air. Then: dust-free shots of huge storehouses, robot arms, forklifts. A catalogue of disaster images meets a science fiction fantasy. No Hollywood superlativism but the effects of the automation and robotisation of the working world. The example: Indiana. A fleeting glance at Trump’s America – and the future of the economy.
Turtle Shells | Germany | Tuna Kaptan
European animal protection laws, German Armed Forces foreign operations and a seized turtle, whose shell was painted with the flag of the Syrian rebels. All converge at a reptile rescue centre in Munich, headed by Dr. Markus Baur. A German army specialist is learning how to deal with dangerous reptiles – he must keep calm, catch, neutralize. Meanwhile, Baur informs the turtle's Syrian owner she's unlikely to get her animal back under European species protection law. A multi perspective film in the midst of glass terrariums exploring the connections between animal, man and war.
Special mention
Alien | Türkiye | Morteza Atabaki
And from silence and darkness awakes … an all-moving, all-turning being. White, yellow and golden spindles in vigorous synchronised rotation. Twirling in shiny pirouettes in an old workshop full of nooks and crannies, they spin the big thread, sacrificing themselves. In the midst of the heat and noise of the historic machine souls a hunched old man is working, sometimes a cog, sometimes the conductor.
