Description:... The focus of the European Week for Safety and Health at Work 2001 was the prevention of work-related accidents. Each year about 5 500 EU employees are killed at work, and many more are injured - figures that remain unacceptably high. Most of these accidents could be prevented and action to tackle this problem is essential if we are to reduce the human and financial toll.
