Political action plans
To reduce health risks and hazards, action plans are developed by the federal government and cantons, in collaboration with other stakeholders. These political action plans are implemented by the FOPH – for example, in the areas of organ donation, radioactivity, suicide prevention and synthetic nanomaterials.
Action plan Radiss
Radioactive sources must always be and remain under regulatory control to protect health and environment. The action plan "Strengthening radiological security and safety in Switzerland 2020–2028 (Radiss)" aims to ensure this.
Radon action plan 2021-2030
The Radon Action Plan 2021–2030 was adopted by the Federal Council in May 2020. It ensures the continuation of the radon protection strategy and is a further development of the Radon Action Plan 2012–2020.
Action plan on suicide prevention
The federal government has worked closely with other stakeholders to draw up the action plan on suicide prevention. The aim is the reduction of suicid-ality during stress crises or mental illnesses.
Action plan for synthetic nanomaterials
The action plan, which expired at the end of 2019, indicated what work should be embarked on in Switzerland from 2008 to 2019 to ensure the safe handling of nanomaterials. The Federal Council took note of the final report on the Action plan on 2 September 2020.
