A+A ILO International Occupational Safety and Health Conference 2017 Meeting the current and future workplace demands for OSH

People matter and engaging people (and their organizations), in all their various capacities, is necessary to achieve safe and healthy workplaces now and in the future. Governments, businesses, workers, safety and health professionals, researchers, practitioners, designers, planners and builders, social insurance professionals and associations, as well as occupational safety and health (OSH) service providers and suppliers all play a critical role in meeting the current and future workplace demands for OSH. The ILO International OSH Conference 2017 will provide a forum for stakeholders to learn about current research, resources and good practices and the opportunity to share their experiences and discuss their concerns related to the following four session topics: How Businesses and Workers are Collecting and Using OSH Data and Information to Improve OSH Performance, Violence and Psychosocial Risks at Work, OSH in Global Supply Chains, and OSH for Youth.

Violence at work is a threat to the dignity, security, health and well-being of all people. Along with the other psychosocial risks associated with the work, it has an impact not only on workers and employers, but also on their families, communities, economies and society as a whole. This session aims to provide an overall picture of violence in the world of work with an emphasis on health outcomes and productivity, information of the current situation and available assistance especially in Europe and good practices at the workplace level in tackling violence and psychosocial risks.
