Read descriptionHealth And Safety At Work in Relation With Productivity
HESAPRO is an EU Lifelong Learning Programme (LdV Partnership Project) built on a simple observation: safer workplaces tend to be more productive workplaces, yet health and safety and productivity are usually managed as unrelated concerns. Coordinated by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology of the Turkish Republic — Directorate General for Productivity, the project brings together five partner countries to produce research, self-assessment instruments and practical guides that help enterprises — SMEs in particular — act on that connection without needing external consultancy. Read the brief description for the full rationale, or see project partners for who is behind the work.

What the project set out to do
HESAPRO was built around four objectives, agreed by the full consortium at the project's outset:
- Creating awareness of health and safety at work and its impact on productivity, among employers, employees and training providers.
- Establishing cooperation for the exchange of knowledge, practices and experiences between the partners on occupational health and safety.
- Building lasting networks and cooperation structures among the partner organisations.
- Providing a platform for developing knowledge, strategic direction and practical ideas that enterprises can put to immediate use.
Why health, safety and productivity belong together
The project's background research reviewed evidence from all partner countries and consistently found the same pattern: enterprises that treat health and safety as an operational concern, not just a compliance box to tick, see it reflected in output as well as wellbeing.

Absenteeism costs more than incidents
Across partner countries, absence linked to poor working conditions was found to outweigh direct incident-related costs — see the resources page for background reading.
Psychosocial factors matter early
Workload and role clarity showed the strongest links to both wellbeing and output quality in the research reviewed for the project.
SMEs are the most underserved
Smaller enterprises were far less likely to run any structured self-assessment, which is why HESAPRO's instruments are designed for non-specialist use.
Who gets the most out of HESAPRO
The toolkit was designed with a specific gap in mind: enterprises that know health and safety matters, but lack the budget or in-house expertise to assess it properly.
SME owners and managers
Run a self-assessment without hiring a consultant, using instruments piloted specifically for smaller organisations.
HR and workplace safety officers
Use the guides and leaflets as ready-made reference material for staff training and incident reporting procedures.
Researchers and policymakers
Draw on the background research and case studies as evidence from five EU labour markets.
What the project delivers
The consortium's work is packaged as a toolkit aimed at employers, employees and training providers, made up of six connected outputs:
- Background research on the link between productivity and occupational safety and health (OSH) — download the PDF.
- Case studies from each partner country, showing the research applied in real enterprises — view case studies.
- A guide on the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees on OSH, the OSH–productivity link, and relevant EU legislation — view guides.
- Leaflets for workers and employers, condensing the guide into quick reference material — view guides.
- A presentation summarising the key findings of the background research and introducing the other outputs — read overview.
- Resources and instruments — self-assessment tools plus a curated reading list — view instruments · browse resources.
