Health and safety of workers on fixed-term and temporary contracts [5 December 2011]

http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/ewco/2011/09/EU1109041I.htm

 

 

A report by the European Commission in July 2011 examines the impact of Council Directive 91/333/EC on improving the safety and health at work of those with a fixed-term or temporary contract. The report notes the relative lack of problems in transposing the directive by Member States but concludes that fixed-term and temporary workers are still comparatively more exposed to occupational health and safety risks than workers with other types of employment contracts.
