Overview of EU and National Legislation in Construction Health and SafetyMerve Hacıbayramoğlu
Construction is one of the most physically demanding sectors. Workers in the construction
sector have greater exposure to biological, chemical and ergonomic risk factors, as well as
noise and temperature. Around 45% of construction workers say their work affects their
health. The costs of accidents and ill health in the sector, are immense to individuals,
employers and governments. More than 99% of construction firms in Europe are small and
medium enterprises. Therefore, occupational health and safety factors have been addressed by
a number of legislative acts, both on EU and national levels.
EU legislation in the filed has been adopted on the basis of Article 153 of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union, which gives the EU the authority to adopt directives in
the field. The sectors primarily addressed on both EU legislative and policy-making levels are
agriculture, construction, education, fisheries, the hotel, restaurant and catering sector, health
care, rail, air and water transport and road transport.
Member States are free to adopt stricter rules for the protection of workers when transposing
EU directives into national law, thus legislative requirements in the field of safety and health
at work can vary across EU Member States.
In 1996 the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) was set up to
promote a culture of risk prevention to improve working conditions in Europe within EU
OSH policy and strategy that aim at making Europe a safer, healthier and more productive
place to work. Agency’s main activities cover the areas of analysis and research, prevention,
and campaigning and awareness raising in the field af health and safety at work.
This report contains an overview of the EU legislation and national rules and regulations of
Bulgaria, Turkey, Austria, Malta, UK and Spain concerning occupational safety and health at
work in the field of construction industry.
