Prime Minister Gabriel Attal indicated on Wednesday March 27 that he wanted to launch "a major initiative" to "better prevent accidents at work" and "improve the quality of life at work".
“We have too many accidents at work in France, we have too many French people dying at work,” declared the head of government on TF1, referring in particular to the statistic of “two” deaths per day.
To improve the situation, Mr. Attal plans to “bring together all the partners, social partners, elected officials, parliamentarians so that there is a major initiative taken on this subject”.
“We must better prevent workplace accidents and we must improve the quality of life at work and the working conditions of the French, particularly those who have the most difficult jobs,” added Gabriel Attal.
In 2021, there were still 640.000 work accidents, including 39.000 serious and 696 fatal, according to Health Insurance figures.
A poor performer at the level of the European Union, France comes 4th among the countries most affected by this scourge, behind Latvia, Lithuania and Malta, according to Eurostat data for the year 2021.
