The
European roadmap on carcinogens is a voluntary action scheme to raise awareness
about the risks arising from exposure to carcinogens in the workplace and
exchange good practices. This action scheme is titled “Roadmap on carcinogens”.
The roadmap has six initiators:
- the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer
Protection
- BusinessEurope (European employers)
- the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA)
- the European Commission
- the European Trade Union Confederation
- the Netherlands Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment
Many initiatives are already being taken by local organisations to apply
solutions and prevent or reduce carcinogen exposure. The aim of the Roadmap is
to propel existing solutions towards innovative practices that are used across
Europe.
The second important aim of the Roadmap on carcinogens is to encourage and help
others to raise awareness and share knowledge. The roadmap will function as the
hub of activities undertaken in industries, companies and governments.
The six initiators will use their networks to stimulate companies or organisors
of conferences to share their good practice, become friends of the roadmap and
share initiatives on the activity calendar of the Roadmap. Means to spread the
message are newsletters, events and presentations.
As more organisations and companies share their activities, there will be an
increasing number of lightbulbs of knowledge appear on the map. As such,
visitors of the website will become aware of the actions and will be
enlightened by innovative solutions to prevent and reduce exposure to
carcinogens at work. This leads to raised awareness and an overview on good
practices related to preventing work-related cancer.
The roadmap on carcinogens is a movement and a hub for smart solutions to
reduce exposure to carcinogens across European workplaces, and improve workers’
health.
