Subject: Complementary study supporting the review of the Workplace Directive

89/654/EEC and the Display Screen Equipment Directive 90/270/EEC

The European Commission is financing a complementary study to support the review of

Council Directive 89/654/EEC concerning the minimum safety and health requirements

for the workplace and Council Directive 90/270/EEC on the minimum safety and health

requirements for work with display screen equipment. Policy options have been identified

for a potential update of the two Directives. These policy options are based on a previous

study carried out in 2022 and take into consideration the adopted opinions of the Advisory

Committee on Safety and Health (ACSH) on the revision of the two Directives, among

others.

The current complementary study involves the collection of information from key

stakeholders across EU Member States through interviews and focus groups on the

proposed policy options. Specifically, information sought during discussions relates to the

assessment of impacts of the proposed policy options. The aim is to provide the European

Commission with insights on costs and benefits related to a potential update of the

Directives. Therefore, collecting stakeholder views is important to assess the impact of the

policy options.

A consortium comprising Deloitte, Panteia, vhp Human Performance and Spark Legal and

Policy Consulting has been appointed to carry out the complementary study.

I would be grateful for any assistance that you are able to provide to the consortium led by

Deloitte as they collect information and data to inform the analysis in this study. All queries

concerning this study should, in the first instance, be addressed to Deloitte.

Should additional information be required you may wish to contact the responsible

officer in the Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion Directorate-General, Ms

Solveiga Eidukynaitė - Gerard (telephone: + 352 4301 34222, e-mail:

Dear Estonian Rescue Service Agency, I am contacting you in connection with a joint study between Deloitte and the European Commission. Deloitte, in collaboration with Panteia, VHP, and Spark, has been appointed by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion to conduct a study to assess the impact of potential policy options for updating the two Council Directives relating to minimum safety and health requirements in the workplace (89/654/EEC), i.e. the Workplace

Directive, as well as the use of Display Screen Equipment (90/270/EEC), the Display Screen Equipment

Directive (DSE). Please find attached a letter from the European Commission describing our mandate. The scope of our study covers various policy options for a possible update of both Directives. In this context, we would like to conduct an interview with your organisation to discuss the potential impacts on businesses. The main objective is to gather information from your perspective that will enable the study team to assess the impacts of the proposed policy options. What would it mean in practice to have to comply with the new regulations? Ultimately, this will enable the European Commission to identify the costs and benefits associated with a possible update of the Directives. To prepare for the interview, we will share a guide once your interest and availability to participate have been confirmed. The interview should take approximately 1 hour. Please note that all information collected will be used solely for the purposes of this study in an anonymised format. Our goal is to conduct the interview before the end of September. Therefore, your prompt response would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Andreea Cristina Pomian
