"We have implemented a great deal of legislation on health and safety at work: the OHS Framework Directive, several specific Directives, the REACH Regulation etc. However, more than 160 000 European citizens die every year from work-related accidents or diseases. An important element is thus to ensure that the spirit of the texts is respected when they are implemented in the Member States. We must also ensure that the vital role of on-site labour inspections is strengthened. This report, which I supported, also proposes adapting and developing the body of European legislation in order to take account of a number of current challenges that we are facing, notably: preventing psycho-social risks in the workplace; maintaining physical and psychosocial health, given the trend towards longer working lives; and even taking into account potential risks linked to the new technologies, harmful substances and nanomaterials. Finally, the prevention and protection policies we implement must be adapted to include all categories of high-risk workers (chemical risks, radioactive risks, substances toxic for reproduction) and workers involved in atypical forms of employment (temporary workers, transferred workers, seasonal workers, people working on a part-time basis or undertaking a great deal of teleworking and so on)."@en1
