The European Commission has just adopted the new EU strategic framework on health and safety at work 2021-2027.

This initiative has been built on the previous EU Strategic Framework 2014-2020. It aims to maintain and improve the high health & safety standards for EU workers - also in light of new circumstances and will help to prepare for new crises and threats.

It identifies key objectives and sets out a strategic framework to encourage EU countries and stakeholders to work together on common priorities.
