The EU-OSHA Campaign Summit ‘Healthy Workplaces Manage Dangerous Substances‘ will be held on 12 and 13 November 2019 at the Euskalduna Conference Centre in Bilbao, Spain.
During the course of 2018 and 2019, the European Healthy Workplaces Campaign has focused on promoting sustainable work and encouraging employers, managers and workers and their representatives to work together to address the challenges of managing dangerous substances.
Coordinated by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), since its launch on 24thApril 2018, the campaign has encompassed and supported a wide range of activities at both European and national level to promote the use of simple, practical tools and guidance in this field.
To bring the two-year campaign to a fitting close, EU-OSHA is organizing a major conference across two-half days.
The Healthy Workplaces Summit will bring together leading European experts and decision makers to discuss the results of the two-year campaign, exchange good practices and explore future strategies for addressing the challenges of managing dangerous substances in European enterprises, through plenary sessions, parallel sessions and discussion.
The event also features the ‘Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards Ceremony’, putting the spotlight on the award-winning and commended good practice examples from this Europe-wide competition.
- Workshop sessions will cover the following topics:
- Carcinogens at work – effective prevention practices and policies
- Successful interventions by third parties in workplaces
- Sustainable management and substitution of dangerous substances in production processes
- Main challenges for effective prevention – the best way forward
The Summit will of course also provide plenty of networking opportunities.
