Fieldwork starts on European survey of enterprises on new and emerging risks (ESENER)

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, in April 2009, has begun a European-wide establishment survey on health and safety at the workplace. Managers and health and safety representatives will be asked about how workplace risks are managed, particularly focusing on psychosocial risks. The survey aims to assist workplaces to deal more effectively with health and safety and promote the health and well-being of employees. It will provide policy makers with cross-nationally comparable information relevant for the design and implementation of new policies in this field.
