Studies & Surveys

Eurogip publishes the results of a survey on the conditions of compensation of occupational injury and disease victims in 14 European countries.
Only in French

This survey covers Switzerland and the 15 European Union Member States except Greece and the Netherlands. Even though everywhere in Europe, the occupational injuries insurance has been built on the fringe of the civil liability law, the levels of benefits are far from being homogenous in all countries and the concept of employer’s liability changed quite a lot on some of them.

This document appears at the right time. Just when the social partners are entering into interprofessional negotiations on the employment of senior citizens and painful working conditions, Eurogip publishes the proceedings of the European conference held by it on the theme of “Ageing and occupational risks – How to promote workers’ health throughout their working lives?”

It is possible to make an economic assessment of what companies devote to occupational diseases in Europe by studying the expenses of the competent national insurance organisations. This is the purpose of the present report, which also deals with the question of funding for occupational health insurance.

This report, made by a European working group, studied the possibilities of recognition of these illnesses in 13 European countries and gives a review of current national thinking.

Eurogip organized Tuesday December 9, 2003 a European day-debate on the topic of the prevention of traffic accidents involving somebody who is at work at the time, whether they are occasional or regular displacements, which are often fatal. Proceedings are available in French only.

At a time when stress at work is becoming a subject of growing concern, a European working group has examined the issue of the recognition of illnesses of psychosocial origin as occupational diseases in thirteen countries. Eurogip, which coordinated the work, publishes the study report.
