According to the ETSC (European Transport Safety Council), up to 40 % of all road deaths are work-related, therefore assuring a high level of road safety is a key element in the prevention of workplace accidents. As RADAR project focuses on improving infrastructure safety, which also serves the purposes of professional drivers, we presented the outputs and goals at the conference in Austria.

The four-day conference, focusing on the prevention of workplace accidents – WOS: Working on Safety – aimed at bringing together experts from all over the world in order to facilitate a high-level exchange of experience, new findings and good practice solutions.
