It involves ten countries, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the European Older People’s Platform (AGE) and EuroHealthNet. The goal is exchange of knowledge and experience among the European Union Member States and EFTA-EEA countries.

This program was organised by The National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) in the years 2004 – 2005. The campaign included seminars, competitions, meetings, open days and presentations. Open days organised all over the country – presentations of safe constructions, personal protective equipment, meetings, and seminars for representatives of trade unions and employers of construction sector, competitions for the young and programs in schools for construction sector.

| Bild: | Best Agers is a project in which older professionals worktogether with different age groups in the fields of business and skills development to generate new ideas and share their expertise and experience.
Best Agers is part-financed by the European Union Baltic Sea Region Pro- gramme 2007-2013 (Priority 1 - Fostering of innovations across the Baltic Sea Region).
Nineteen partner institutions from eight countries around the Baltic Sea launched this project: Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Great Britain, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.
With demographic change - recently defined as one of the four key challenges for European regions by the EC - and the current economic crisis looming, the cities and regions of the BSR have to find creative ways of disclosing and utilizing unused opportunities.
Project duration: January 2010 - December 2012.

The card is supposed to improve occupational safety in shared workplaces. Furthermore, the card will show the employer that the employee knows about occupational safety and health and that he passed a special training for this. In addition to companies, the development process has been participated by representatives from labour market organisations, the insurance sector and educational organisations. The Occupational Safety Card training in Finland has been designed first and foremost for the shared workplace of manufacturing industry, but it is equally applicable for the building industry, the public sector, shipbuilding, and more.

For this project, the German Gesellschaft für Arbeitsschutz- und Humanisierungsforschung (Association for Occupational Safety and Human Research) cooperated with with five companies in the electronics, mechanical engineering and plant engineering industries, all showing high innovation dynamics.
The project was supposed to develop operational prevention concepts to make it easier to work with an aging workforce or with an age-centered, mixed-age workforce.
The aim was to reach a high efficiency up to 65 or 67 years of age to stay healthy up to the retirement leave.

The German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) started this campaign in January 2010.
Every year, 230.000 accidents occur during transport and traffic within plants, 150 of them are fatal. In addition, 23.000 accidents occur on public roads during business journeys (170 of them fatal) and 175.000 accidents occur involving schoolchildren on public roads. In 2008, more than 500 insurants lost their lives due to one of these casualties.
The campaign "Fight the risk" aims at prevention and reduction of these accidents. A website is online now, offering information for employers, employees, pupils and teachers, links, videoclips, a multimedia quiz and personalized E- Cards including a short prevention clip that can be sent to friends.

Advanced Construction Technologies ( UK) Ltd. runs a virtual construction site for safety training in Coventry. The simulation centre, believed to be the first of its kind, features a state-of-the-art computer-generated simulation to create a virtual construction site, which allows construction managers to develop their skills in a controlled environment.
To make the training as lifelike as possible trainees work in fully-equipped site cabins, which are identical to those found on any building site. They then have to deal with demanding site-management scenarios that are based on real-life situations with site personnel, colleagues, and members of the public played by professional actors.

This is a project providing online and offline learning modules for engineers to increase their knowledge on ergonomics. This project was initiated by KAN (Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardisation), Germany.
During their training, engineers currently receive very little tuition in human engineering. The corresponding topics are adequately included in training only at institutions with human engineering departments. KAN's objective was therefore to facilitate the integration of knowledge from the areas of occupational safety and health and ergonomics into the training of designers, thereby contributing to products, work equipment and workplaces satisfying ergonomics and safety standards.
To achieve this aim, it was considered necessary to create dedicated tuition modules on ergonomics.
