The project aims at providing quality training to trade unionists and workers’ representatives in the metalworking industry in 7 target countries and at transnational level, in order to increase their awareness concerning emerging psychosocial risks connected to work environment and work organisation, but also regarding the strategic role of social dialogue and collective bargaining initiatives in protecting and promoting workers’ mental health.

This will be achieved through

  • The close cooperation between “research” partners, experts, trade unions and associate partners and through the  delivery of 22 training sessions  (at national and transnational level), organized thematically, taking into account sectoral and national peculiarities but also the international context and practices in the field;
  • The implementation of communication and dissemination activities designed to fit in with other European and international initiatives  and gatherings organized on the theme of risk prevention and mental health promotion in the workplace.

The initial phase of the project consists of some questionnaire-based research which will provide data about the state of play concerning awareness of, and responses to, psychosocial risks (PSRs) to workers in the metalworking sector (engineering, manufacturing and related areas).
