| Abstract |
Prepared as discussion basis for an ILO Joint Meeting held from 27 to 31 January 2003, this report addresses the working conditions at public emergency services in a changing environment. Indeed, workers in theses services (firemen, policemen, emergency service workers) face events that may cause acute psychological stress and the volume of their work is growing as a result of rising crime rates, increasing number of traffic accidents, acts of terrorism and demographic factors requiring more emergency medical services. Main topics covered: nature of public emergency services; employment trends; working conditions; occupational safety and health; human resources; coordination among different services: social dialogue and rights at work. |
