2000 Work-related musculoskeletal disorders 2001 Accidents 2002 Work-related stress Dangerous substances at work 2004 Construction 2005 Noise Themes of the Weeks

European Week 2004 is dedicated to risk prevention in construction activities, including building, demolition, repairs, painting etc. The EW 2004 slogan is: “SĂ CONSTRUIM ÎN SIGURANŢĂ” (“BUILDING IN SAFETY”)

Over 800,000 accidents a year in Europe, including 1300 fatal accidents; Widespread exposure to hazardous substances, leading to cancers, respiratory difficulties and other ailments; Half of Europe’s 12 million construction workers will suffer musculoskeletal problems. CONSTRUCTION’S HEAVY HUMAN COST

Poor safety and health inflates construction costs by an estimated 8.5%; This equates to €75 billion a year; Most of these costs are borne by taxpayers as most construction projects are publicly funded. THE FINANCIAL COSTS ARE EQUALLY HIGH

SMEs lack the resources to do it alone: Most safety and health problems are concentrated in this sector. Everyone involved in construction – from architects to engineers - must also help: Many accidents are due to decisions taken before construction starts. PARTNERSHIPS HOLD THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Workplace safety demonstrations National inspection days TV advertising campaigns Training sessions Open days Seminars and workshops Competitions Exhibitions Press conferences Some examples of European Week activities
