Symposium: Occupational safety means more than just duties of care
A high priority on the topics of occupational safety and health protection are among the success factors of a company.
The "Occupational Safety" symposium on May 4 in Zurich clearly shows that it is worthwhile for companies to address the issues of occupational safety and health protection even beyond the legal requirements. After all, absenteeism is not only a burden on the company economically, but also in terms of personnel - supervisors and colleagues are under greater strain during this phase.
Most occupational and leisure accidents are caused by human error. Successful occupational safety management therefore requires that employees are actively involved and that they assume their own responsibility.
This requires a holistic view of the issues: It is necessary to cover the legal framework, to recognize concrete hazards in one's own company, to communicate the right values and to provide safe work equipment and materials. The morning program of the conference revolves around these different perspectives.
Increasingly, however, the focus is not only on physical but also on psychological hazards: stress, burnout, mobbing and flexible working hours are leading to increasingly higher costs, not only for the IV but also for companies. The participants of the conference will learn about the interrelationships and possible solutions in a presentation.
