Our media partners represent a select group of journalists and editors, dedicated to actively promoting occupational safety and health (OSH) across Europe.

With a particular focus on the Healthy Workplaces Campaigns, the media partnership offers unique opportunities for media outlets to become actively involved. By partnering with us, they can benefit from increased visibility, enhanced reputation, and valuable networking opportunities with OSH experts, EU-OSHA partners and peers.

We require the main contact person to have a professional working knowledge of English, as all communication will be conducted in English.

The European Union’s classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) regulation changed the way that chemical hazards are communicated. The pictograms referring to health and physical hazards have changed, including the introduction of three brand new ones, and there have been some changes to classification and labelling. The new rules gradually have to be implemented in all EU Member States.

The Healthy Workplaces Film Award honours the best documentary on work-related topics. The award is presented by EU-OSHA at the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film (DOK Leipzig).

The 2012–13 Healthy Workplaces Campaign ‘Working together for risk prevention’ is decentralised and is designed to help national authorities, companies, organisations, managers, workers and their representatives and other stakeholders to work together to enhance health and safety in the workplace. The campaign supports a wide range of activities at national and European level, including national partnership meetings and seminars. Smaller enterprises are particularly welcome to take part.

The Foresight project involves looking beyond those workplace risks that are currently ‘emerging’, to try to anticipate change in the longer term. It involves developing scenarios in certain subject areas, looking at what might happen given certain technological developments or changes in society, and the implications for OSH, which decision-makers can act on. The first Foresight project is looking at ‘green’ jobs; those which involve technology or practices which are designed to reduce environmental impact.
