37th A+A International Congress 2021:
Successful presence for occupational safety and health
Successful presence for occupational safety and health
The 37th A+A Congress 2021 took place as a successful face-to-face event, focusing on the essential topics in occupational safety and health. For the first time, parts of the congress were also streamed online. Dr Christian Felten, Managing Director of the Basi, is pleased: “We are glad that we were able to welcome our guests and speakers at a presence congress that deserved its name: A four-digit number of participants – around 1500 – experienced a multitude of high-quality contributions and finally exchanged ideas on site again.“
Important were classical fields like exposure to carcinogenic hazardous substances or musculoskeletal disorders caused by work. Many participants were also interested in workplace organization. Dr Felten: “However, the audience’s interest equally focused on topics such as safe and healthy working in international supply chains, digitization in the workplace like support through exoskeletons, new work and mobile working.“ According to the Basi Managing Director, many congress visitors were interested in aspects such as the organization of the workplace at home, psychological stress in the home office or the difficulty of leading a team that is not in one place. In this context, helpful solutions were presented at the congress. Thanks to the digital possibilities it was possible to connect speakers from all over the world. They presented their scientific contributions on the subject of occupational safety and health via screen in Düsseldorf and discussed them with those who were present.
That was the 37th A+A Congress 2021

But this did not diminish the quality of the events, for example, the session on supply chains exceeded my expectations.
fewer people than usual at the trade fair and the A+A Congress –
of course this is due to the pandemic. But this did not diminish
the quality of the events, for example, the session on supply
chains exceeded my expectations
natürlich ist dies auf die Pandemie zurückzuführen. Doch das hat die Qualität der Veranstaltungen nicht geschmälert, so hat etwa die Session zum Thema Lieferketten
hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen.

in Hall 10 very exciting. We will have to deal more with their use in the workplace in the future.
(Unfallkasse) and Staff Council:
quickly because there was less public traffic – that was
interesting. I found the demonstration of exoskeletons in Hall
10 very exciting. We will have to deal more with their use in
the workplace in the future.
Sehr spannend fand ich die Vorführung der Exoskelette in Halle 10. Mit deren Einsatz am Arbeitsplatz werden wir uns künftig mehr beschäftigen müssen.
und Personalrätin:
weil weniger Publikumsverkehr herrschte – das war
interessant. Sehr spannend fand ich die Vorführung der
Exoskelette in Halle 10. Mit deren Einsatz am Arbeitsplatz
werden wir uns künftig mehr beschäftigen müssen.
