STOP THAT NOISE
'Around one third of employees in Europe are exposed to potentially dangerous levels of noise for at least a quarter of their time at work. And its not just those in industries such as construction or manufacturing, who are at risk. Noise can be a problem in many working environments, from factories to farms, call centres to concert halls.'
This year's European Week for Safety and Health at Work will focus on the issue of noise at work, under the slogan, 'Stop that noise!', with the tagline, 'Noise at work – it can cost you more than your hearing'. The campaign is backed by all Member States, candidate and EFTA countries, the Luxembourg and United Kingdom EU Presidencies, the European Commission and Parliament, trade unions and employers' federations.
