This year’s campaign slogan was ‘Safe Start’ and was dedicated to the occupational safety and health of young people. These webpages contain helpful information for young people, employers, parents and supervisors of young people. European Week 2006 ran from 23rd – 27th October.
For this year’s UK campaign HSE worked partnership with the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH), Trades Union Congress (TUC), Learning and Skills Council (LSC), EEF, the Manufacturers' Organisation and the British Safety Council (BSC).
The purpose of this partnership was to raise awareness on occupational safety and health of young people through the distribution of Action Packs; providing links to key stakeholders’ webpages (for example, IOSH’s wiseup2work website that is specifically aimed at young people and the LSC's good practice safelearner website); the joint production of guidance and the Basic Hazard Awareness Course; and events and competitions.
You can still organise your own activities and events to raise awareness of the issues.
