| Abstract |
Economic incentives aim to stimulate enterprises to invest in management of occupational safety and health (OSH) by making it more financially attractive. They are potentially strong instruments in driving companies towards safety and health excellence because they reinforce the link with profitability. This issue summarises the discussions at a workshop organized by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, 15-17 September 2004. Contents: types of economic incentive (state subsidies, grants, financing; incentives based on tax systems or tax structures; insurance premium variation); research; objectives of the workshop; examples of incentives used in some EU countries; overall conclusions and perspectives. |
