European Hazards ConferenceDaily Hazard, n79, Nov 2003The ninth European Work Hazards Network Conference took place in Elsinore, Denmark in September. 224 trade unionists, activists, academics and occupational health workers from 21 countries attended, hosted by the Danish network of unions, workers and activists known as the AAA. In the past couple of years Denmark's right wing government has attacked health and safety at work and collective bargaining. Despite all this, Denmark is far more proactive in health and safety at work due to the potent role played by the unions and enforcement agencies. For most Danes, EU Directives would mean a plummet in their standards. © London Hazards Centre 2003 London Hazards Centre, Hampstead Town Hall Centre, 213 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4QP, UK mail@lhc.org.uk The London Hazards Centre Trust is UK Registered Charity no 293677. |
