Description
Summary:"The study, done by the University of Sheffield, shows that REACH would help avoid 50,000 cases of occupational respiratory diseases and 40,000 cases of occupational skin diseases from exposure to dangerous chemicals in Europe each year. That would add up to total average savings of 3.5 billion euros over 10 years for the EU-25. The savings would boost social security coffers through reduced sickness benefit payments, while workers will enjoy health-related quality of life gains, and employers in all sectors will avoid productivity losses from sickness absenteeism."
