The Eurogip Discussions, held in Paris on Monday 22 October, were devoted to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in Europe. Representatives of the European Commission, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, the European social partners, ergonomists, researchers, doctors and OSH consulting engineers from various European countries (Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) described the strategies and measures adopted to prevent risk and to retain in employment people suffering from MSD.

The 89/391/EEC directive stipulates that employers must evaluate risks to the safety and health of workers. The thematic report by Eurogip considers the types of risks to be assessed, the players involved in assessment, formalisation of the assessment, the link between assessment and preventive action plan, the frequency of the procedure, and sanctions for an assessment failing.

On 8 November 2007, the Board of Directors of Eurogip unanimously adopted the strategic guidelines for the standardisation activity of the network of the Occupational Injuries and Diseases Branch of the Social Security system. These guidelines involve, in particular, creating work tools and procedures designed to better choose between and manage the subjects and levels of work performed by the network’s experts, to strengthen monitoring and reporting activity, and to define the conditions and limits of funding for this activity.
