Safety and health in agri-food sector supply chains: the power of combining contractual and relational governance
Keywords:This policy brief is based on the results of the EU-OSHA project ‘Leverage Instruments for Occupational Safety and Health – Lift-OSH’. It offers an in-depth look at how hybrid forms of contractual and relational governance in the agri-food sector supply chain can improve occupational safety and health (OSH) and working conditions.
Project findings show that combining both governance forms can foster trust, shared responsibility and ongoing improvement on the part of all supply chain partners. This ultimately translates to safer and more favourable work environments for workers.
