European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
Every three and a half minutes, somebody in the
EU dies from work-related causes. That's more
than 150,000 deaths a year as a result of either
work-related accidents (8,900) or occupational
diseases (142,000).
33
European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
Workers and employers need to be made aware of
the risks that they face, and how to manage them.
But health and safety bodies in the individual EU
Member States cannot do this alone. That is why
the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
was set up, in 1996. Our mission is to make
Europe's workplaces safer, healthier and more
productive. We do this by bringing together and
sharing knowledge and information, to promote a
culture of risk prevention. Located in Bilbao,
Spain, we have a dedicated staff of occupational
safety and health (OSH), communication and
administrative specialists. At the national
level, we are represented through a network of
focal points, which are usually the lead OSH
bodies in the individual Member States. The
Agency is a tripartite organisation, this means
that we work with governments, employers and
workers representatives. We are a single
reference point for OSH information. We
commission, collect and publish new scientific
research and statistics on OSH risks.

European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
35
European Agency for Safety and Health at Work 1
How we are organised We are managed by a
Director, Jukka Takala from Finland, and have a
Governing Board. Governing Board The Governing
Board sets our goals and strategy, and identifies
priority OSH issues where further information or
activity is required. It appoints our Director,
and adopts our Work Programme, Annual Report and
budget. The Board is made up of representatives
of governments, employers and workers from the EU
Member States, representatives of the European
Commission and observers. It meets at least once
a year. Bureau The Bureau works as a steering
group, overseeing the Agency's operational
performance, and meets four times a year. It is
made up of eleven members from the Governing
Board. 
36
European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
Advisory Groups Three Advisory Groups provide
us with strategic advice, and feedback on our
activities. The Advisory Groups cover the Risk
Observatory, Working Environment Information, and
Communication and Promotion. The Board and the
Agency appoint the members of the Advisory Groups
from the three groups, workers, employers and
governments. Director The Director is the legal
representative of the Agency and is responsible
for our management and  day-to-day running,
including all financial, administrative and
personnel matters of the Agency. The post is for
a term of five years, renewable once, and the
Director is appointed by, and accountable to, the
Governing Board. Staff We have a dedicated staff
of specialists in occupational safety and health
(OSH), communication and public administration,
from all around Europe. They bring with them a
wealth of knowledge of OSH and OSH
communications, from the various EU Member
States. Our office is located in Bilbao, Spain.
37
European Safe Start Summit in Bilbao
The Summit will close a one-year campaign
dedicated to the safety and health of young
people throughout Europe and will take place on
22nd March in Bilbao. It provides an opportunity
to hear from professionals, practitioners and
participants about what has been achieved during
the campaign and the lessons learned to ensure
that we protect the workforce of tomorrow by
taking action today. It will be an unequalled
opportunity to review the activities and events
that took place throughout Europe during the
campaign and an opportunity to present the
winners of the Good Practice and Video
Competitions with their awards.

• Every year there are 4 million accidents at work
  which represent enormous economic costs for the
  European economy, said Vladimír pidla,
  Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and
  Equal Opportunities. For both human and economic
  reasons, this problem deserves to be given a
  prominent place on the Community's policy agenda.
  The new strategy aims in particular at improving
  and simplifying existing legislation and
  enhancing its implementation through non-binding
  instruments such as exchange of good practices,
  awareness-raising campaigns
• Defining and implementing national strategies
  adjusted to the specific context of each Member
  State
• Mainstreaming of health and safety at work in
  other national and European policy areas
  (education, public health, research)
• Better identifying and  assessing potential new
  risks.
