4th International Conference: Prevention of Occupational Accident in a Changing Work Environment
[30 Sep - 03 Oct 2008]

>> The Working-On-Safety Network aims to establish a permanent network of experts in accident prevention, an informal forum for the exchange of experiences, new findings and best practices for the prevention of accidents at work on a global scale. Successful prevention relies on increased co-operation between experts who have different experiences and approaches. Knowledge grows with improved exchange and collaboration.

In this context, every 2 years a three-day conference of the network is organised to facilitate these exchanges by organising face-to-face encounters.

>> The conference main topics are

Occupational risks related to new technologies and changes in the work environment
Risk assessment
Cost of accidents and insurance cover for occupational hazards
Methodologies for occupational safety prevention
Roles and responsibilities in occupational safety
Integration of courses on safety in education, innovative training and educational tools, safety culture
