  7. The ICOH wants to call International Organizations… …to join forces for improvement of the conditions of work, health, safety and well-being at work and to provide basic occupational health services to all working people throughout the world

  8. …and calls for actions • Prevention and control through legal and appropriate means • Development of working conditions • Provision of occupational health services • Research efforts • Adopt occupational health as a basic right of working people

  9. WORKPLACE SAFETY AND THE EU It is based on the article 31 of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights: “every worker has the right to working conditions which respect his or her health, safety and dignity”

  16. “food for thoughts”… while in the EU 15 area construction sector accounted for 11% of fatal accidents in 2001, in Veneto Region the figure is 40% of all work related fatal accidents registered in 2002, 2003 and 2004

  17. CONCLUSIONS Despite evident achievements and success in the last years it should be noted that cross-regional differences are often hidden by national or European figures. Prevention policies and actions need these differencies be taken into account
