The campaign theme for
2012-2013, ‘Working together for risk prevention’ is highly valued by the
organisations chosen to be campaign partners. The campaign encourages managers,
workers, representatives and other stakeholders to work together to manage
risks in the workplace. Many companies cited a belief that safe and healthy
workplaces are integral to continued economic success and sustainable futures,
and the willingness to bring these topics to the forefront of their company
strategy to be able to better tackle them.
Christa Sedlatschek,
Director of EU-OSHA, said, ’We are
delighted to welcome over 50 official campaign partners, from across all
sectors, committed to working together for risk prevention. Their engagement
proves that European companies and associations believe that investing in
safety and health in the workplace is key to business and economic
competitiveness. We hope that this partnership will have a cascade effect
benefiting the whole supply chain, and workers in workplaces of all sizes, in Europe and beyond.’
In order to promote current campaign the official video has been
