"(
) Good evening everyone! Working at night certainly does not do our health any good. Our efficiency at work and our success also depend on how we feel at work and how our health is cared for. In this regard it is important that legislators provide laws and regulations, that employers provide safety measures and that employees themselves are also aware of their own responsibilities and ensure that measures are observed.
I would like to draw particular attention to greater workplace protection for pregnant women, because in such cases two lives are endangered. It is also necessary to pay greater attention to health and safety education both at the primary level of education as well as vocational schools and colleges. Regulations cannot be effective if we are unaware of them or are not prepared to follow them.
The report frequently mentions new Member States, as though they have poor standards in employee health and safety. In Slovenia we have very strict regulations for safeguarding health in the workplace, and obligatory training is also regulated. Employers that are aware of the usefulness of regulations follow them closely. Unfortunately, however, this often stops at formal observance of regulations and quick profits for those that carry out training programmes. There also needs to be supervision over the implementation of regulations for the benefit of both employees and employers, because savings at the expense of workers' health are often more expensive than investment in safety, education and increasing awareness."@en1
