As part of its collaboration with EU-OSHA, the German national focal point, together with the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) and the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), invites you to the kick-off event of the new EU-OSHA campaign. The motto of the European campaign 2023-2025 is: Safe and healthy work in the digital age: Together with OSH experts from practice and research as well as the social partners, we would like to discuss on November 2, 2023 in Berlin the various facets of this overarching topic, which has developed an enormous dynamic, not least due to the impact of the pandemic on our everyday working lives.
