Safety and health at work week


Healthy workplaces for all ages is the central theme of the 2016 European Week for Safety and Health at Work, which takes place from 24 to 28 October.


The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has produced an e-guide which provides practical information on how age-related challenges can be addressed at work.


The e-guide is structured around four themes, which present different aspects of ageing at work and provide guidance on health and safety management and related issues for ageing workforce. In addition, each of the themes includes examples of good practices and useful links for further reading.


The four themes are: 


• ageing and work; 


• health workplaces for all ages;


• health promoting workplaces; and


• return to work.


The Healthy workplaces for all ages webpage also has links to campaign materials; research; practical tools and guidance.
