The Healthy Workplaces Campaigns are EU-OSHA's flagship awareness-raising activity. They are its main way of getting core messages to workplaces across Europe. These thematic campaigns run over a period of two years with most of the main activities taking place in October during the European Week for Safety and Health at Work. The Healthy Workplaces Campaigns are the biggest initiatives of their kind.
Their aims are to raise awareness and address topics around safety and health at work, as well as offering help for the operational implementation of interventions. This is done by producing and disseminating information materials, supporting events that are held, and assisting the organisation and running of press work and press campaigns.
The Good Practice Awards (GPAs) are one of the highlights of each campaign. The awards recognise outstanding and innovative approaches taken by organisations and companies to the issues dealt with by the current campaign topic.
The 2026-28 Healthy Workplaces Campaign
In October 2026, EU-OSHA will launch its new 2026-2028 campaign under the slogan "Together for mental health at work - preventing psychosocial risks at work". The campaign aims to raise awareness of psychosocial risks in the workplace and to systematically strengthen preventive measures to promote mental health. The focus is on a holistic and inclusive approach that involves both companies and employees equally.
Five priority areas give structure to the campaign:
- Psychosocial risk assessment and management
- Harassment, sexual harassment and violence
- Physical risks and mental health
- Psychosocial risks in the health & social care sector
- Working with mental health problems
The priority areas will be activated on the website one after the other and will then offer material, practical guidance, and research reports on the respective topic.
Further information about the campaign will be available on this page when the campaign launches in October 2026.
