The aim of the 2008-09 European Campaign for Safety and Health at Work is to promote the benefits of completing and implementing a risk assessment to employers, workers and safety representatives.

The campaign aims to show that risk assessment is not necessarily complicated and to provide practical advice, encourage activities that have a positive impact in the workplace, and identify and recognise good practice.

This page contains links to helpful information and material on risk assessment and European-wide initiatives.

You can download unlimited copies of the materials by clicking on the links to the right.

For European Week (20-24 October), you could organise your own activities to raise awareness of the issues. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work’s campaign website, where you can also find out more about the European Good Practice Awards 2008, can be found at the link on the right hand side.

For example risk assessments, as well as case studies, tools and advice please visit the dedicated risk management web pages on the HSE website.  To access these web pages, please click on the links on the right hand side.

Officers from Environment & Regulatory Services will be promoting the campaign’s sensible risk management message during their visits to businesses.
