Description

EU experts will discuss occupational cancer prevention measures, one of the priorities of both Spanish and European occupational safety and health strategies. 

The Roadmap on Carcinogens initiative has been running since 2016, to raise awareness of the risks arising from exposure to carcinogens in the workplace and to promote exchange of good practices between companies and organisations. Since its inception, the number of organisations committed to the Roadmap on Carcinogens has been increasing, with most of the governments of the successive presidencies of the Council of the EU joining the Roadmap, the most recent being the Spanish incorporation in March 2022.
The four main objectives of the Roadmap on Carcinogens will be discussed in depth and the work carried out on the 12 challenges will be reviewed.

EU-OSHA will present – for the first time in public – findings of the Workers’ Exposure Survey on Cancer Risk Factors in Europe.

The event will be in both Spanish and English.
