EU-OSHA welcomes its network of partners, dignitaries and staff past and present to the event, held in the city that the Agency is proud to call home. EU-OSHA pays tribute to all its collaborators and their commitment over the past 25 years, with speeches and panel discussions.

Marianne Thyssen, European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility, commented: “25 years ago we established EU-OSHA to make sure that everyone, and most importantly workers and employers, are aware of health and safety legislation and of good practices to implement it.”

Two panel discussions will reflect on the successes achieved in occupational safety and health (OSH) in Europe over the past 25 years, as well as looking to the future.

Topics include digital technology, the challenges and opportunities presented by the EU’s enlargement and the the European Pillar of Social Rights.

There will also be an update on EU-OSHA’s campaigns such as the Healthy Workplaces Campaigns.

Former EU-OSHA Director Dr Jukka Takala, had a message of support for the agency’s continued good work: “Good occupational safety and health equals economic success. We need to get that message across to politicians, change attitudes and change long-term thinking.”

Live stream is available on Wednesday 5 June at 15.30.
