Work is also underway in 2016 on several additional aspects, and will continue in parallel with the consultation on the Pillar: for a fresh start to promote work-life balance for working parents; for a European Skills Agenda; and for a thorough evaluation of the 24 occupational health and safety Directives; which should help to assess their relevance, effectiveness and coherence in order to maintain a high degree of workers' health and safety protection in the light of new risks, while simplifying and modernising the applicable legislation, also to facilitate take-up by SMEs.
Riječ je o novom početku u pogledu promicanja ravnoteže između poslovnog i privatnog života za zaposlene roditelje, o europskom programu vještina i o sveobuhvatnoj ocjeni 24 direktive o zdravlju i sigurnosti na radu, čime bi se trebala olakšati procjena njihove relevantnosti, djelotvornosti i usklađenosti kako bi se održala visoka razina zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti radnika s obzirom na nove rizike, a ujedno pojednostavnilo i moderniziralo primjenjivo zakonodavstvo te način na koji ga MSP-ovi primjenjuju.
