Who are we?
EUROGIP is an observatory and a resource centre on questions relating to the insurance and prevention of accidents at work and occupational diseases at international, and in particular European level. It is a key player in this field, with no equivalent in Europe.
Formed in 1991 as part of the “Occupational injuries Branch” of the Social Security system, EUROGIP is its international relay. Its activities are focussed on the following areas:
- monitoring and information,
- studies and surveys,
- standardization in occupational health and safety,
- coordination of notified bodies for the EC certification of machinery and personal protective equipment,
- projects of Community interest,
- external relations and communication,
- coordination of the international relations of the Occupational injuries Branch.
