Maria M., Safety Advisor at the Council of the EU

What I like about my job is that I am contributing to a safer and better workplace for my colleagues and I can see how my job makes a difference to them.

I joined the Safety Unit in 2016 as a crisis management assistant dealing with emergencies. I moved internally in 2021 to the Policy and Advice sector, where I focus more on projects and in-depth analysis of accidents. My tasks are very varied, ranging from analysing risks at the workplace to organising official events, and whatever the current task I enjoy being at the beating heart of Europe! - Is it challenging? Yes. -Is it stressful? Quite often. - Is it interesting? Absolutely!
