Important steps to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) have been taken by the European Union since the 1980s. Building on this, a Community strategy 2007-2012 on health and safety at work (OSH Strategy 2007-2012) was put in place. In 2013, an evaluation of this strategy was undertaken. After considering this evaluation , the European Commission adopted a new EU strategic framework on health and safety at work 2014-2020 on the 6 th of June 2014. The strategic framework is planned to be discussed in the European Parliament plenary in November 2015. Given 'psychosocial risks and work-related stress are among the most challenging issues in occupational safety and health' this keysource includes a section dedicated to workplace stress.
