The 2018-2019 awareness raising campaign on “Healthy Workplaces – Controlling the use of dangerous substances” was officially launched at 12 o’clock on Tuesday 24 April.

What is the issue at stake? Why is the management of dangerous substances in the workplace so important? Who should be involved in promoting a long working life? How to manage dangerous substances?

The dedicated campaign website provides answers to all these questions. It also proposes a broad range of campaign material available in several languages. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has brought together on the website tools, guidelines and examples of good practices coming from all over Europe.
