ETUI calls for concrete measures to tackle psychosocial risks
The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) held the Healthy Workplaces 2015 Summit in Bilbao on earlier this month. ETUI researchers Viktor Kempa and Aida Ponce Del Castillo took part in the debates focused on strategies for managing psychosocial risks in the workplace.
ETUC Confederal Secretary Esther Lynch, in charge of occupational safety and health, provided an opening statement in which she pointed out the need to reach workplaces characterised by inadequate awareness or understanding of precarious working conditions. Various Member States – Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden – presented their national legislation on the working environment.
