EVALUATION OF THE EUROPEAN STRATEGY ON SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK 2007-2012874.3.6 Summary <strong>of</strong> findings on objective 2: NationalstrategiesAll Member States - except one - now have a national <strong>strategy</strong> or comparableinstrument. The European <strong>strategy</strong> has been a driver and source <strong>of</strong> inspiration for<strong>the</strong> national strategies - although not in all countries and with different emphasis indifferent countries. Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national strategies encompass <strong>the</strong> objectives,priority areas and instruments set out in <strong>the</strong> European <strong>strategy</strong>. Exceptions are <strong>the</strong>areas <strong>of</strong> health surveillance and <strong>the</strong> rehabilitation/reintegration <strong>of</strong> workers excludedfrom <strong>the</strong> workplace, which are reflected in a more limited number <strong>of</strong> nationalstrategies incorporating <strong>the</strong>se provisions (9-12 national strategies depending on <strong>the</strong>subject).The ACSH contributed positively to <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> national strategies throughdialogue and workshops to exchange experience and best practises.The implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national strategies has been quite successful overallwith some countries being more effective than o<strong>the</strong>rs. This has also led to positiveimpacts in terms <strong>of</strong> better practises and risk assessment, better implementation <strong>of</strong>legislation and <strong>the</strong> promotion <strong>of</strong> a preventive culture. It is not possible to quantify<strong>the</strong>se impacts and it is not possible to determine to what extent <strong>the</strong>se impacts maybe attributed to <strong>the</strong> European <strong>strategy</strong>. However, <strong>the</strong> data strongly indicates that<strong>the</strong>re is a positive causal relation between <strong>the</strong> European <strong>strategy</strong> and actions andeffects at <strong>the</strong> national level.The European <strong>strategy</strong> focused on <strong>the</strong> development and implementation <strong>of</strong> nationalstrategies. This objective can to a large extent be considered achieved, with <strong>the</strong>reservation that implementation is more effective in some Member States than ino<strong>the</strong>rs. Considering that almost all Member States now have a <strong>strategy</strong>, <strong>the</strong> futureperspectives for relevant actions seem to be more in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> exchanging viewsand experience on specific matters relating to <strong>strategy</strong> implementation and use <strong>of</strong>instruments as well as <strong>the</strong> monitoring/<strong>evaluation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> strategies, which did notreceive very much attention at <strong>the</strong> EU level during <strong>the</strong> present <strong>strategy</strong> period.4.4 Achievements in relation to <strong>the</strong>encouragement <strong>of</strong> changes in behaviour and<strong>the</strong> promotion <strong>of</strong> a preventive cultureThe European <strong>strategy</strong>'s priority on promoting changes in behaviour containsactions within two main areas:› Integrating health and safety into education and training programmes› Healthier and safer workplaces: Improving health and promoting awarenesswithin companiesThe below sections describe <strong>the</strong> actions taken and achievements made under eachmain area. Under <strong>the</strong> second area, we distinguish between health promotionactivities and more general awareness raising and prevention related activities.http://projects.cowiportal.com/ps/A019055/Documents/3 Project documents/Interim and final report/Final report October 2012/OSH <strong>evaluation</strong>-report_Final_submitted 14 March2013.docx
88 EVALUATION OF THE EUREVALUATION OF THE EUROPEAN STRATEGY ON SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK 2007-201288EU-OSHA: Review<strong>of</strong> Member Stateaction on OSH inschool curriculum4.4.1 Integration <strong>of</strong> OSH into education and trainingprogrammesIn <strong>the</strong> Strategy, EU-OSHA was requested to review <strong>the</strong> extent to which health andsafety aspects have been incorporated into Member States' vocational andoccupational training policies. This work had been initiated by EU-OSHA before<strong>the</strong> launching <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European <strong>strategy</strong> and in 2009 EU-OSHA published a reporton <strong>the</strong> Member States' mainstreaming <strong>of</strong> OSH into school curricula 86 . The reportand associated fact-sheet were produced in 21 languages and reviewed how <strong>the</strong>Member States were including OSH and risk education in <strong>the</strong>ir national curricula.The ACSH WP on this topic discussed <strong>the</strong> EU-OSHA report, but did not reach aconclusion on fur<strong>the</strong>r actions to be taken.The Mid-term Review mentions that <strong>the</strong> Commission will be considering follow-upaction based on this EU-OSHA report (which provided recommendations for arange <strong>of</strong> future initiatives) during <strong>the</strong> remaining period <strong>of</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>European <strong>strategy</strong>. However, Commission representatives have confirmed that nonew policy initiative was developed or is foreseen for <strong>the</strong> remaining period <strong>of</strong>implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Strategy.However, EU-OSHA has been and continues to be very active in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong>mainstreaming OSH into school curricula. A number <strong>of</strong> activities have been carriedout, including <strong>the</strong> following:› On-going cooperation between EU-OSHA and <strong>the</strong> European NetworkEducation and Training in Occupational Safety and Health (ENETOSH) 87 .› Organisation <strong>of</strong> a stakeholder meeting on mainstreaming OSH into education.The seminar was jointly organised with ENETOSH. The meeting broughttoge<strong>the</strong>r, among o<strong>the</strong>rs, OSH stakeholders, education stake holders,child/youth safety stakeholders, youth employment stakeholders and socialpartners from <strong>the</strong> EU level and member states 88› Preparation <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> reports:› Preventing risks to young workers: policy, programmes and workplacepractices, report and fact sheet, 2009 89 . To support information exchangeon best practice, EU-OSHA has produced a report about how <strong>the</strong>occupational safety and health <strong>of</strong> young workers can be managed at86 EU-OSHA 2009: OSH in <strong>the</strong> school curriculum: requirements and activities in <strong>the</strong> EUMember States;87 http://www.enetosh.net/88 24 February 2010. http://osha.europa.eu/en/seminars/mainstreaming-occupational-safetyand-health-osh-into-education89 http://osha.europa.eu/en/publications/reports/TE3008760ENC/view,http://osha.europa.eu/en/publications/factsheets/83/view. 2 publications, report andfactsheet (21 languages), Work carried out by contractor 2005-6, publication date 2009http://projects.cowiportal.com/ps/A019055/Documents/3 Project documents/Interim and final report/Final report October 2012/OSH <strong>evaluation</strong>report_Final_submitted14 March 2013.docx
