Press Release: European week for safety and health at work

Higher safety and health standards in Europe's construction industry could save up to 1,300 lives each year and avoid 850,000 serious injuries, according to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work at the launch of its major campaign, 'Building in Safety', in Dublin on 30 April 2004. The campaign, which will culminate in the annual European Week for Safety and Health at Work (18-22 October 2004) will highlight the health and safety risks in Europe's construction industry, as well as the solutions, in more than 30 countries throughout the continent, making it the largest ever campaign of its kind.
