ACRP joins Healthy Workplaces Campaigns

Our association The European Association for Construction Repair, reinforcement and protection, ACRP, is pleased to announce that it has become a new partner of the campaign Safe and Healthy Work in the Digital Age 2023-25.
This is a European Union project that raises awareness of the impact of new digital technologies on work and workplaces, as well as the associated challenges and opportunities in terms of occupational safety and health (OSH). It also provides a platform for the exchange of good practice solutions.

In line with the ‘vision zero’ approach to work-related deaths of the EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2021-2027 as well as the objectives of the European Digital Strategy the campaign seeks to place OSH within the wider EU policy debate and also considers the gender dimension and the needs of specific groups of workers at increased risk.

Five priority areas give structure to the campaign:

• Digital platform work
• Advanced robotics and artificial intelligence
• Remote work
• Smart digital systems
• Worker management through artificial intelligence

The campaign is mainly based on the findings and resources of the OSH Overview on Digitalisation 2020-2023, but also includes EU-OSHA research in other areas, such as the Foresight studies and the OSH Overview on Supporting Compliance.

The Healthy Workplaces Campaigns message is  “Safety and health at work is everyone’s concern. It’s good for you. It’s good for business. We help you to promote it by making practical guides and tools freely available” the project’s website explains.

Each campaign also features the Good Practice Awards and the Healthy Workplaces Film Award.

The Healthy Workplaces Campaigns have been running since 2000, formerly under the title ‘European Weeks for Safety and Health at Work’.
