Programme title: Support for social dialogue

Action title: Promoting the autonomous implementation of the European framework agreement on occupational health and safety in the hairdressing sector 

Application reference: VP/2019/001/0050

Summary of the action:
This project is a joint social partner project and related to the implementation of the results of European social dialogue outcomes, notably the revised European Framework Agreement. The project will be structured around three topics:
1. Identification and prioritisation by risk category of hazardous and harmful chemical substances contained in cosmetic products.
2. Obtain a paradigm shift in the risk assessment methodology used by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety concerning the professional use of cosmetic products rather than a consumer’s use of those products.
3. Follow-up, promotion and monitoring of the autonomous implementation of the revised European Framework Agreement on occupational health and safety in the hairdressing sector at national level.
This strand of work will complement the joint efforts of autonomous implementation through the Action Plan as concrete deliverables of the Action Plan are scheduled and will serve as the basis of further national efforts.
