text: **6.2 EU and national OSH strategies**
  The EU and many Member States**applied and apply strategic approaches**, based on EU or national 
  evidence of the state of OSH. OSH strategies are a steering instrument to focus the activities of all 
  actors on major recognised deficits of OSH infrastructures or processes.381 
  
  The newest**EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2021-2027**puts the focus on 
  change, with the title*‘Occupational safety and health in a changing world of work’*.382 Consequently, the 
  strategic framework focuses on three key objectives for these years: 
  
  •*anticipating and managing change in the new world of work brought about by the green, digital*
  *and demographic transitions;*
  
  •*improving prevention of workplace accidents and illnesses;*
  
  •*increasing preparedness for any potential future health crises.*
  
  The proposed focus areas and actions are related to these three objectives. Under the first key objective 
  there are actions like ‘Modernising and simplifying EU OSH rules in the context of the green and digital 
  transitions’; a special focus is on psychosocial and ergonomic risks. The second objective promotes a 
  vision zero approach to work-related deaths, particularly referring to hazardous substances and 
  cardiovascular diseases, the promotion of health at work and inclusive workplaces for all.383
