The document discusses occupational health and safety (OHS) policies and frameworks in Europe. It outlines the following key points: 1) The European Community supports improving work environments and working conditions through directives adopted by the Council. 2) Frameworks like the Framework Directive 89/391 establish general preventive principles for OHS including risk evaluation, preventive planning, and organizing necessary resources. 3) Resources can be organized through the employer taking responsibility, designating workers, setting up internal/external preventive services, and ensuring workers representatives are involved in OHS discussions. Developing effective OHS policies requires coordination between all relevant stakeholders.
