The Greek Focal Point works to:

encourage SHW at national level (primarily by managing and disseminating all available information, experience and knowledge and networking and coordinating all stakeholders);

foster the necessary risk prevention mindset in the workplace (by implementing targeted initiatives, programmes and one-off SHW information, promotion, awareness-raising and education campaigns); and

promote and incorporate the basic principles of SHW in other policies and sectors (e.g. in employment, education, initial and lifelong vocational training, the public sector, local government, etc.).

In order to achieve these objectives, makes use of all available promotion, information, awareness-raising and communication channels, both offline and online, thematic web pages and existing networks to provide information and/or advice and support to all individuals, agencies, organisations or enterprises involved (with particular emphasis on small and micro enterprises) and to the general public. It also manages the National SHW Information Network of government agencies, workers’ and employers’ organisations and other public- and private-sector stakeholders.

In addition, the Department helps to design, prepare implement and evaluate activities under the National SHW Strategy, based on national needs and priorities and in compliance with the common European policy on SHW and related EU strategies and programmes.

The work of the Greek Focal Point, which involves multidimensional projects at national, European and international level, is set out each year in advance in its annual work programme, which always correlates with the work of the EU-OSHA.
