About the forum
Portrait
The European Forum of the Insurance against Accidents at Work and Occupational Diseases is an independent European association of public and private institutions representing the bodies responsible nation-wide for the insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases
The European Forum was founded in 1992 in the form of an association to promote and safeguard the principle of such a specific insurance within social security in Europe. It contributes to the convergence process on European level by promoting and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experience.
The European Forum is committed to actively improving the situation of workers in Europe who have suffered an accident at work or an occupational disease and is therefore playing a significant part in creating a socially just Europe for the future.
