SafeHabitus Policy Workshops aim to synthesize the latest and most relevant scientific research and practical insights from a wide variety of stakeholders.

We facilitate debate and share perspectives among those actors and European policymakers directly involved on issues related to OSH and social coverage in the sector.

By gathering the latest evidence, we seek to provide policymakers with the knowledge and evidence needed to drive positive change and improve working conditions in the sector.

The aim of this seminar is to explore the link between robust social safety net approaches that support improved working conditions for farmers and farm workers.

We draw on selected cases from member states of the EU highlighting differences in approach to the organization and delivery of services before providing agriculture and occupational health and safety stakeholders the opportunity to exchange knowledge and perspectives on how working conditions in farming can be improved for all farmers and farm workers.

The seminar is divided into three distinct parts; setting the scene, understanding EU and international approaches, exploring policy and policy options.

The scene setting draws on research to present the OSH needs of farmers and farm workers and how these can be supported by social safety nets.

Understanding EU and international approaches will present summaries of the different approaches applied in different countries.

Exploring policy will provide an opportunity for policy stakeholders to outline current initiatives and explore potential policy options that can support improved working conditions in agriculture.
