Press Release: Healthy Workplaces campaign: 30 multinational organisations and companies take action

At the end of the first campaign year, the number of official partners has risen to 30 as more pan-European organisations and multinational companies signed up to support the Healthy Workplaces campaign organised by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The campaign aims at reducing work-related accidents and illnesses by promoting risk assessment as the first step to a sustainable prevention culture. Improvements in this area are urgently needed as it is estimated that every year in the EU 167,000 people die from work-related causes.
