Terms and Conditions

Welcome to the website poosh.eu created as a result of the project Occupational Safety and Health of Posted Workers: Depicting the existing and future challenges in assuring decent working conditions and wellbeing of posted workers in hazardous sectors (hereafter: POOSH), that provides information and evidence-based analysis of data on occupational safety and health of posted workers in the EU. 

This website was created for the purpose to collect and enhance relevant information for stakeholders (posted workers, employers, competent public authorities, trade unions, employers' associations, NGOs), researchers and media about the overlooked issue of OSH in the context of posting abroad to provide services. The e-Observatory is co-created and regularly updated by a group of researchers involved in the EaSI-Progress funded project POOSH, with the intention to enhance access to information and inform public and policy debates on the issue. The project POOSH was co-financed also by Slovenian Research Agency and Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (hereafter: ZRC SAZU, also “the owner”).
