WHAT DO THEY DO ?
The underlying goal for EU- OSHA is to make European workplaces safer , healthier and more productive for business , employee and government as well .
This goal leads to a culture of risk prevention while altering working conditions for the better in Europe .
EU-OSHA reports that 18- to 24-year-olds are more likely to have a serious accident at work than older adults .
The organisation also seeks to start teaching pupils about safety and health as they learn to read and write so that it becomes a natural part of how they work , play and live .
They put their efforts on what can be done at workplaces in practice to help tackle this pandemic and protect employees .
