European Trade Union Committee for Education

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has published an e-guide on healthy workplaces for all ages, specifically addressing the needs of an ageing workforce. The e-guide is country specific and available for all 28 EU Member States plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. It addresses different target groups (employers, workers, HR managers and OSH professionals) and contains specific information and good practices for every target group, divided into four main sections: Ageing and work, Healthy workplaces for all ages, Health promoting workplaces and Return to work.

EU-OSHA and ETUCE, and also the European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE) will continue to work closely together in the future, most prominently on developing an online-interactive risk assessment tool for the education sector.
