In the wake of the "Health and Safety for Firefighters of the Mediterranean Area" project, approved by the European Commission for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities on 22 August 2008, the present Vademecum was drawn up for firefighters and their trade union representatives by the project's Steering Committee.
As a result of increased cross-border activity, promoted by the EU, to deal with the natural disasters that have hit the countries of the Mediterranean area over the years, this "Vademecum" follows in the wake of the "European Firefighters' Charter" issued on October 2007 as an integral part of EPSU's trade union policies vis à vis the European Union and aims to step up trade union bargaining in the area of occupational health and safety.
