One third of employees in the EU now work remotely (OSH Pulse 2022), highlighting the need to adapt occupational safety and health (OSH) standards to address new challenges. Find out more in the new key focus of the Healthy Workplaces Campaign on Remote and hybrid work.

With benefits like greater flexibility and increased autonomy, this type of work also presents risks such as poor ergonomics, isolation and stress. 

Multiple resources are already available, including an informative presentation and an info sheet, with many more to come soon.  

Moreover, stay tuned for the upcoming European Week for Safety and Health at Work! Numerous events and activities aimed at raising awareness about OSH will be held across the EU.
