"To pursue the goal of making a contribution towards the development of a monitoring system for safety and health at work in the European Union (EU), the European Agency decided to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the state of occupational safety and health at work throughout EU-Member States. The 'State of Occupational Safety and Health in the EU-Pilot Study' Report identifies for physical exposures, postures and movement exposures, handling chemicals, psycho-social working conditions and OSH outcomes for example sectors/ occupations most at risk. The Focal Points and their national networks also provided information on trends and needs for the development of additional preventive actions for these indicators. A summary report presents a condensed overview of both the major findings and of information contained in the main report.
In the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland a similar information project was carried out to complete the European picture on the state of occupational safety and health at work. This report shows the findings in the EFTA Countries. "
