EU-OSHA Workplace Safety Photo Contest Winners

"Nothing speaks louder than a photograph that stirs the imagination, evokes emotions and engages both the photographer and the viewer," said Dr. Christa Sedlatschek, director of EU-OSHA. "With over 7 million accidents and 20 million cases of work-related disease annually in the EU-27 alone, this pan-European photo competition is helping to raise awareness of workplace safety and health across Europe, supporting our mission to make Europe's workplaces safer, healthier and more productive."

"Dressmaker" by Krzysztof Maksymowicz

The winning entry, titled "Dressmaker" by Polish photographer Krzysztof Maksymowicz, shows a close-up of a woman's hands as she sews with a needle – a tool that Maksymowicz says "is slowly becoming forgotten. The picture is symbolic, capturing risk prevention in its most basic form."
