Since its creation in 1996, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has been contributing to safer, healthier and more productive workplaces. People all over Europe have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment and we are working continuously to achieve this. One of our main goals is to identify and share good practice in order to achieve genuine safety and health and promote a risk prevention culture across Europe.

Changing work environments create new risks that need to be addressed in new ways. Service industries are now the main employer in Europe and psychosocial and organisational demands are becoming more and more relevant. Besides accident prevention, in the coming years we need to look more closely at lifetime health issues.

Traditional prevention measures might have to be replaced or complemented by holistic approaches and innovative practices. Health and safety practitioners will need to pay more attention to these areas of health promotion in the workplace. Also, we need to look beyond the established mortality statistics. The real scale of work-related problems, which includes work-related diseases and not just accidents, may be many times greater. The Agency has a key role in making these wider health effects understood.

The ethical component of our message continues to be important, but we also need to emphasise the economic feasibility of what we are advocating. We all have a common goal – to better protect Europe's workers and to nurture and support Europe's enterprises.

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is the Chartered body for health and safety professionals. With more than 39,000 individual members, we’re the biggest professional health and safety organisation in the world.

We’re committed to cutting down the number of people who die or are made ill by what they do for a living. Across the world, two million people die every year as a result of health and safety failures. In the European Union alone, someone dies every three and a half minutes.

We think that when it comes to health and safety, only advice from qualified, experienced and skilled professionals will do. That’s why one of our main roles is to maintain high standards.

We’re the voice of the profession, and lobby governments on policy and law. We accredit qualifications for our members, give guidance, develop resources and run courses and events to help them in their work.

We recognise that health and safety isn’t just down to the experts. We work with a range of organisations to raise awareness – and standards. And we develop training for schools and businesses, and run campaigns that are relevant to millions of working people.

IOSH was founded in 1945 and is a registered charity.
