The Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) and the Korean Occupational Injury Compensation and Welfare Service (COMWEL) were on a study visit to France in October and November 2023. They were received by the CRAMIF and EUROGIP respectively.

Many of you have taken part in the EUROGIP Discussions since they were launched in 2003. The aim of this annual conference was to provide a European perspective on occupational risks in relation to a topical issue: the changing world of work, work-related mental diseases, financial incentives for prevention, digital technology, etc. With the same objective in mind, EUROGIP is preparing to launch a series of videos on the Internet.

The health crisis has led to an unprecedented acceleration of telework. Today, this form of work organisation seems to be firmly established, and in particular the hybrid model, combining telework with face-to-face days in the office.

As heatwaves become more frequent and intense, how can the health and safety of workers exposed to them be safeguarded? Above what temperature should action be taken? What action should be taken?

It is now accepted that working conditions can have an impact on workers' mental health. The prevention of psychosocial risks has therefore become a priority in many countries. But the question of recognising psychological diseases as work-related is far from being unanimously accepted in Europe. EUROGIP devoted its latest study to this issue.

In its recently published Annual Report 2022, EUROGIP gives a brief overview of its activities and presents the highlights of the year according to its business lines.

The health crisis has led to an unprecedented acceleration of telework. Today, this form of work organisation seems to be firmly established, and in particular the hybrid model, combining telework with face-to-face days in the office.

All of us at EUROGIP wish you a Happy New Year 2023!
