The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, EU-OSHA, is one of the central players in the work with working environment and working health issues in Europe. EU-OSHA works to promote a safe and healthy working life. It encourages European players to promote better working lives through research, cooperation and different types of information campaigns.

At the World Congress on Safety & Health at Work in Singapore, EU-OSHA presented numbers for workplace injuries and accidents which it had collated in cooperation with the ILO and others. The fresh statistics showed that workplace accidents and injuries costs the EU €476bn each year, or 3.3 percent of the Union’s BNP – let alone immeasurable human suffering.
