Occupational health and safety postponed for participation
NEW DATE: From November 10 to 12, 2020 (instead of May 26 to 28), everything will once again revolve around occupational health and safety in the workplace at Bernexpo for the 8th time. Around 200 exhibitors will be showing innovations from the fields of safety technology and protective equipment, among other things, embedded in an informative supporting program with specialist presentations and live shows. A special added value is offered by the hands-on safety course.
In addition to the presentation of innovative products and services for occupational health and safety in the workplace, the focus for trade visitors is on exchanges with experts and practical relevance. In numerous expert presentations and practical forums, they will receive first-hand, valuable impulses for everyday work, in which soft factors like psychosocial stress are thematized. Interactive learning opportunities and live demonstrations help to test one's own expert knowledge and to prepare for the Emergency to be optimally equipped. The ArbeitsSicherheit Schweiz trade fair, with its presentations and safety trail, is recognized and certified by the Swiss Society for Occupational Safety (SGAS) as a continuing education measure. Continuing education units are credited for participation in selected tours and events.
Test and implement your own knowledge
''A popular place to go this year will once again be the safety trail on offer,'' Kirsten Maul, project manager for the trade fair at organizer børding exposition SA, is certain. Already for the fourth time different exhibitors take over the sponsorship for individual stations of the safety course. At six posts distributed throughout the exhibition hall, visitors can interactively experience topics from their everyday working lives. As a special added value, there are also continuing education points for participation. ''The safety parcours builds a bridge into practice and offers the unique opportunity to test and implement one's own knowledge in concrete situations,'' says Maul.
The station of the Swiss Association for Occupational Safety Switzerland is entirely in line with the motto of its annual theme "Join in". The aim is to make everyone involved in the company aware of Occupational safety to raise awareness. At the course station, the task is to solve puzzles in an escape room in order to rescue a group of people from an emergency situation. The program continues with balance exercises at the post of the Advisory Office for Accident Prevention (BFU), among other things, to raise awareness of fall risks. Knowledge tests on current regulations through to resuscitation exercises for first-aiders complement this station. The safety course is signposted with its own logo in the exhibition hall. The running cards for collecting points for recognition as a continuing education measure will be handed out at the trade fair office. The stations and exhibitors in detail:
Association Occupational Safety Switzerland: Participants solve puzzles in an ESCAPE room and free groups of people in a company.
