Hands-On Interactive
What do people working in OSH need for the challenges they face in their everyday work? What’s the latest from research, policy and current projects that can be used for assessing working conditions, for Work 4.0 or for health and mental well-being? These questions and an exchange with experts are the focus of the new series “Hands-OnInteractive” which has four events on 6-7 November 2019. (Only in German language)
Focus on OSH Professions
Workplace health and safety is a dynamically growing area of employment. Companies need to invest more time and effort into prevention and health promotion in order to attract new employees. This current trend will be the focus of the A+A Congress 2019 when it kicks off “In focus: OSH Professions – Job Training, Further Training and Cooperation” on 8 November 2019. This topic looks at issues such as education and job training, the discussion on the respective strengths of OSH professions, as well as opportunities and the need to cooperate. This is targeted at OSH professionals, university staff and students, as well as trainees and apprentices. They’ll be able to experience the very first “Prevention Slam” in the tradition of a science slam. (Only in German language)
