| description | "While a number of 'first wave' accessing countries have now closed most of the formal chapters in the EU accession process, the gap between legislative transposition and implementation capacities remains in certain key areas of the social acquis. Questions of effective workplace social dialogue in Central and Eastern Europe, especially as regards health and safety in the workplace remain to be addressed.
The purpose of the current research was to assess employee attitudes to issues of safety and health in the workplace and to gauge their 'voice' in effective participatory health and safety at workplace level. Specifically, nearly 4,000 employees were surveyed in a total of 30 enterprises in Lithuania in the period 2001 to 2002. This period was specifically chosen as it encompassed the implementation of the Law on Safety and Health at Work (2000) incorporating EU Directives on safety and health into Lithuanian legislation. The survey sought to identify whether different forms of industrial ownership might influence employee attitudes on a range of measures of participation in safety and health, by comparing foreign owned, with joint owned, Lithuanian private and public enterprises.
