Over recent decades, construction has significantly improved in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), resulting in fewer fatal accidents and a decline in work-related illnesses. Yet, the construction sector remains one of the most hazardous in the European economy, due to the varied and complex risks involved.
EBC champions simplified regulations, streamlined processes, and strong enforcement of health and safety laws, always prioritizing the welfare of workers. By promoting training, awareness campaigns, and safety information, EBC ensures that both employers and workers have the resources needed to maintain safe workplaces. EBC calls for continuous technical and financial support from European and national institutions to further enhance OHS standards.
