Press Release: Europe’s social partners first to sign up to ‘Building in Safety’ campaign charter

Europe's social partners in the construction industry, the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) and the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers (EFBWW), representing over 80 unions and federations across the continent, in June 2004, signed the new 'Building in Safety' campaign charter, launched by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. The campaign charter, which is part of the Agency's 2004 European Week on Safety and Health at Work (18-22 October 2004), aimed at construction work, commits signatories to contribute to the campaign and to improve safety and health standards in the sector via training, information and other initiatives. In return for their commitment, signatories will receive a 'building in safety' certificate from the Agency.
