Our campaign pledge
UNIEP, as the representative of Painting in the Construction sector, is aware that the changes brought by new technologies affect workers and employers in many tasks in the Construction field. Digital technology offers new opportunities but also presents greater challenges and risks in terms of health and safety. UNIEP is committed to bringing better knowledge and management of digital tools to workers in the Painting and Decorating sector thanks to its many years of strengthened links with its small and medium-sized enterprises, partners and network.
