All of us at EUROGIP wish you a Happy New Year 2022

Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > All of us at EUROGIP wish you a Happy New Year 2022

EUROGIP wishes you a very happy new year 2022! We are happy to accompany you and to enlighten you on the themes of prevention and insurance of work-related risks at international level for 30 years.

Let’s go back in time… In 1991, just before the opening of the European Single Market, numerous European directives and standards were adopted to allow products, people and services to be able to circulate freely. In this rapidly changing context, French Social Security has set itself several objectives:

  • Understanding the issues at stake
  • Participating in the process that is being set up
  • Knowing the practices in other countries in the field of prevention of occupational accidents and diseases
  • Putting forward its point of view at European level.

It has therefore entrusted these tasks to the public interest grouping that it has created, EUROGIP. It is now an observatory and resource centre on the prevention and insurance of work-related risks in Europe and internationally, which carries out various activities.

The whole team wishes you a very happy new year 2022, always happy to accompany and enlighten you on these issues!

DENMARK: faster processing of workers’ compensation claims

New rules, which come into force on 1 July, are designed to give victims of accidents at work a quicker response to their claim for compensation. From now on, employers, doctors and local authorities will be liable to a fine if they fail to provide information within the statutory time limit, i.e. no later than 14 days after the first day of absence, if the accident has resulted in the employee being unable to work or absent from work after the day of the accident.
