"The EU has substantial legislation on occupational health and safety, which makes it possible to implement the European Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the field of occupational health. However, this fact is far from adequate to guarantee occupational health and safety as reality is forcing us to take increasingly into account psycho-social risks. These risks are not covered well enough by EU or national legislation. At European level, companies address these risks by providing occupational training programmes. However, workers suffer most often due to the organisation of work and an unsuitable management style.
This makes it necessary to examine the connection between the drawbacks of the workplace and the organisation of work. I must mention the positive role played by staff who legitimately warn about unrecognised risks within a company. Whistle-blowing should be protected, as it is in some countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world. In the United Kingdom whistle-blowers have been protected against dismissal and any form of pressure since 1998. In the United States the protection of whistle-blowers depends in particular on the subject of the whistle-blowing and the status of the whistle-blower."@en1
