The Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES) is pleased to confirm its intention to continue its role as an official campaign partner in the upcoming European workplace campaign coordinated by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA).
For many years, FEES and its member societies have actively supported European initiatives that promote safer, healthier and more sustainable workplaces. In the forthcoming campaign cycle, FEES would again like to contribute to raising awareness and strengthening the understanding of ergonomics across Europe. Our goal is to help a wide audience recognise how ergonomics – and the expertise of professional ergonomists – can support organisations, workers and decision-makers in addressing emerging workplace challenges and improving working conditions.
As in previous campaigns, FEES aims to support the dissemination of knowledge, share good practices and highlight the value that ergonomics brings to workplaces across sectors. These activities are closely aligned with broader European efforts to improve occupational safety and health and to promote a proactive approach to workplace wellbeing.
To make this initiative successful, we invite the ergonomics community to participate actively in the campaign activities coordinated through FEES. The engagement of ergonomists, researchers, practitioners and educators will be essential to demonstrate how ergonomics can contribute to practical solutions and measurable improvements in working environments.
We also encourage all national ergonomics societies to establish or strengthen their cooperation with the EU-OSHA National Focal Points operating in their respective countries. Close collaboration at national level is an important step toward ensuring that ergonomic expertise is well represented within the broader occupational safety and health community.
Finally, we would very much welcome the views of our members and colleagues.
- What do you think should be the key messages that the ergonomics community should communicate during this campaign?
- Where do you see the strongest contribution of ergonomics and the ergonomist profession in relation to the campaign’s objectives?
We invite you to share your ideas and suggestions with FEES so that together we can shape a meaningful and impactful contribution to the upcoming European campaign.
