Employment, Health and Safety, Equality and CSR in electricity sector
The European social partners in the electricity sector considered:
The progress with the European Commission study on employment. A presentation was given by the researchers ECOTEC; Employers and trade unions are requested to contribute to the study;
Health and Safety and training. A joint statement from 1996 was updated. A small number of modifications was suggested, principally dealing with gender specific risks to be taken into account. The social partners will consider what visibility can be given to the statement. A joint working group on health and safety will be considered;
The equality and diversity toolkit that is being worked on by Jane Pillinger. Detailed cases will be written.
