This textbook includes general information on hazardous substances and explains the classification and labelling system as well as the safety data sheets as defined in the GHS.
Several essential issues are discussed, as follows: what hazardous materials are; hazardous properties and their identification; information sources for working with hazardous materials; product identification using product labels; safety data sheets; safe storage of chemicals, etc.

The website provides 13 PowerPoint presentations, presented during a seminar on new and emerging risks at workplaces held in 2009 in Brussels.
The seminar was held as part of the project 'New OSH ERA: New and Emerging Risks in Occupational Safety and Health — Anticipating and dealing with change in the workplace through coordination of OSH risk research', funded as part of the ERA-NET scheme under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.

The factsheet gives an overview of particular risks for young farmworkers, including from chemical exposure, and provides a checklist with some easy prevention measures.
Further common farm hazards include dangerous machinery (especially tractors), working at heights, and the risk of suffocation in grain bins and silos. Exposure to cold, wet or noisy conditions, physically demanding jobs and working with animals can also cause problems. But there are things that can be done to effectively manage these hazards and risks.

The factsheet gives an overview of health risks of maintenance workers, which are mostly related to accidents and physical aspects but also include exposure to chemicals. The factsheet provides background information from the EU countries. 

The e-fact describes the risk at workplaces in the textiles industry and health effects. Significant hazards include manual handling, using machinery, being struck by an object, contact with chemical agents, noise, and slips and trips. The resulting health problems include musculoskeletal disorders, hearing damage and occupational asthma and respiratory irritation. The e-fact provides guidance on how to prevent risks in form of a checklist. 

Following a brief introduction to home care work and occupational safety and health (OSH) issues related to care worker activities, this e-fact includes sections on how to do a risk assessment and how to use a checklist. An example of a general checklist to help answer the question ‘Does the hazard exist at the workplace?’ is provided. An extensive list of ‘Proposed solutions and examples of preventive measures’ is then considered for the different questions posed in this checklist.

The report outlines OSH challenges from new workplace situations and materials being used in the electricity sector based on several scenarios and for a number or of core application areas within the sector. It describes discussions at a workshop, based on the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) Foresight project, held in Brussels on 20 March 2014 for the European Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee (SSDC) Electricity.

The factsheet provides a checklist that should support the assessment of potential risks from working with solar panels along the entire lifecycle, i.e. manufacturing panels, installing and decommissioning as well as treatment of waste. The checklist is suggested to be adapted to the specific situation and there is an introductory text with general information on workplace risks from solar panels.

The European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER) asked managers and workers' safety and health representatives about how safety and health risks are managed in their workplaces, with a special focus on the newer 'psychosocial risks', such as work-related stress, violence and harassment, and including dangerous substances. The current report presents an overview of the results from the first analysis of the data, which were drawn from 36,000 interviews carried out in 31 countries.

This wiki article explains the legal background and health-based arguments for the EU hierarchy of control measures. It describes the types of measures at each level of the hierarchy and how to control their effectiveness. It aims to support employers, safety officers and OSH consultants in identifying the most appropriate measures at a given workplace situation.
