Feedback from workers’ health and safety reps: A vital asset for preventive strategies
Employee representation in health and safety is central to any workplace health policy. But in most European countries, large numbers of workers have no such representation. Structured worker representation is the precondition for workers to play a part in health and safety. Many surveys have shown that a direct connection exists between a company having a workers’ representation body and the quality of workplace prevention policy.
The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) is sponsoring a Conference in Brussels on 11 and 12 February 2008 on the topic, "Feedback from workers’ health and safety reps: a vital asset for preventive strategies" to take stock of the situation with researchers from different European universities and trade unionists.
