Unveiling key OSH insights in the health and social care sector

EU-OSHA has launched six new presentations based on the OSH in figures in the health and social care sector report, shedding light on occupational safety and health (OSH) data in this field.

Topics include the characterisation of workers, detailing workforce demographics such as age and gender, and OSH risks that highlights physical and psychosocial hazards faced by workers. Work-related health outcomes reveals, among other things, that 44% of workers report musculoskeletal issues. OSH management explores implementation of practices like risk assessments, while drivers and barriers examines factors influencing safe procedures. The package is completed by a presentation analysing worker participation in safety and health matters.

Health and social care workers suffer widespread occupational safety and health issues

Workers in the EU health and social care sectors experience one of the highest rates of work-related health risks, according to new EU-OSHA research. Almost half of the 21.5 million workers in this field report in a survey how they face negative occupational safety and health (OSH) risks: healthcare (52%), residential care (47%), and social work (37%).

The new report offers important insights into the state of the HesCare sector. It highlights key facts and figures on OSH-related risks, provides evidence-based insights, and sets out policy pointers to help improve working conditions in this wide-ranging sector.
