Work structures
Four A+A Congress advisory groups have the func- tions of evaluating the responses to the wide-scale call for papers and of preparing the programme of the event. They are responsible for the topics of health, stresses, and occupational safety.
The A+A Safety + Health Meeting Point (TPSG) wor- king group co-ordinates the joint exhibition by the Basi’s members and partners at the international A+A trade fair.
The A+A special events (conference of employees‘ representative bodies; entrepreneur’s conference; meeting of public-sector managers; safety delega- te’s conference) are each prepared and co-ordinated in a dedicated working group.
The three topic-oriented working groups for corpo- rate health, ergonomics/WorkPlaceDesign and reha- bilitation, integration, inclusion were formed for pre- paration and wider discussion of the A+A activities.
The Basi assumes responsibility for organization and topics of the A+A Congress and for its continual development. The Basi and its members join forces in presenting the Safety + Health Meeting Point (TPSG) at the A+A trade fair.
