Euro H&S Week Campaign Pack Launched

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a campaign pack for the European Week for Safety and Health at Work for 2008/09, which will focus on risk assessment and run from 20 to 26 October 2008.

The campaign pack is available for downloading on the HSE website for the duration of the campaign, and includes:

• useful information on the European Week campaign
• a range of HSE guidance materials on risk assessment
• various campaign materials produced by the European Agency, such as guidance factshets and a poster.

The Action Packs provide useful information on the European Week campaign, a range of HSE guidance materials on risk assessment, plus various campaign materials produced by the European Agency, such as guidance factsheets and a poster.

The 2008/09 European Campaign for Safety and Health at Work on risk assessment is aimed at a wide range of stakeholders, including employers, workers and safety representatives, and is intended to promote the benefits of completing and implementing a risk assessment.

The campaign seeks to demystify the risk assessment process to show that risk assessment is not necessarily complicated, bureaucratic or a task only for experts.

The campaign also aims to raise awareness on the issue, provide information and practical advice, encourage activities that have a positive impact in the workplace, and identify and recognise good practice.
