Medicover encourages Clients to pursue a healthy lifestyle in order to preserve their health and avoid diseases. We teach you the way you can take care of your own and your family members’ health.
We not only give our members annually a chance to attend such necessary and tailor-made screenings (state of health check-up) that are in accordance with their age, sex and risk factors, but we also encourage our Clients to resort them.
Everybody has an interest in keeping workers safe and healthy. And most work-related accidents and illnesses are preventable. But how?
The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has developed a European-wide information campaign focusing on risk assessment. The campaign addresses high risk sectors and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) especially.
Since the adoption of the European framework directive in 1989, risk assessment has become a familiar concept for organising prevention in the workplace, and hundreds of thousands of companies all over Europe assess their risks regularly.
Nevertheless, the below figuresi regarding accidents and illness at work show that improvements are needed. Every year, millions of people in the EU are injured at work, or have their health seriously harmed in the workplace.
- Every three-and-a-half minutes, somebody in the EU dies from work-related causes. This means almost 167,000 deaths a year as a result of either work-related accidents (7,500) or occupational diseases (159,500).
- Every four-and-a-half seconds, a worker in the EU is involved in an accident that forces him/her to stay at home for at least three working days. The number of accidents at work causing three or more days of absence is huge, with over 7 million every year.
