Practical guidance and tools to prevent and address violence and harassment in the world of work - an OSH perspective

The proposed project’s objective is to inform better policy-makers on how to prevent and address violence and harassment in the world of work by providing an overview of existing Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) legal and policy frameworks. The project is expected to culminate in a report with a set of recommendations based on the research conducted and a conference discussing and announcing the research results. The resulting recommendations should inform policy makers in the EU and globally, employers and workers (and their representatives) through evidence based knowledge, including sharing of existing and emerging practices in efforts to prevent, address and eliminate violence and harassment in the world of work. Key activities include: - research of around 7 countries’, including from the EU, OSH legislation linked to violence and harassment, policies, plans and workplace risk assessment in developing and challenging contexts, with a view to develop practical tools and guidance support for policy makers, employers, workers (and their representatives), OSH representatives at workplace and civil society; - development of clear and actionable recommendations on tools and guidance to prevent, address and eliminate violence and harassment in the world of work; - a high level conference discussing key findings and tools and recommendations.
