Safety Congress to be held in parallel with Swissbau

As the most important platform for safety and fire protection in the B2B environment, the Safety Congress will bring together the most important decision-makers, commissioners and experts for safety at national level from January 18 to January 21, coinciding with the Swissbau 2022 trade fair. The total of seven half-day modules can be booked individually or in any number according to personal interest. Moreover, the presentations of the two half-day modules on Wednesday 19 January 2022 will be simultaneously translated from German into French.

Seven congress modules

Module 1, new safety requirementsAndré Duvillard, the delegate of the federal government and the cantons in the Swiss Security Network, will open the first of seven half-day congress modules on January 18. Immediately afterwards, an expert will provide answers to the challenges in the field of urban security and urban crime prevention.

Module 2, build and maintain safelyModule two on the afternoon of the first day of the congress will focus on occupational safety and health protection with measures for planning, construction, assembly and maintenance work.

Module 3, Security as a serviceThe topic of drones and detection is not missing either. Hansjürg Inniger, head of the asut working group "digital experience circle", shares his drone knowledge on corporate security.

Module 4, Fire Protection and BIMModule four is scheduled for the afternoon of January 19. An experienced BIM expert will show where the current problems lie with "BIM & Fire Protection" and which additional standards or uniform processes and information are necessary. But thanks to BIM, do planners and authorities still need them at all? No one is likely to answer this question better than a representative of the fire protection authorities themselves. He is the president of the interest group "BIM & Fire Protection" and is employed by the Bern Building Insurance.

Module 5, Building securityArtificial intelligence, deep learning, dashboards, convergence and innovation are not just buzzwords, as the participants of the fifth half-day will see. Among other things, they will hear first-hand about the innovative security system at the European Central Bank.

Module 6, Service interruptionsThe top risks currently include pandemics, cyber incidents and blackouts. Congress module number six on January 20, 2022, will be devoted to these three risks in the afternoon. Bettina Zimmermann, an experienced crisis manager, will be on the podium. In addition, Michael Schneider, Lorenz Cairoli and Helmut Capol are further specialists and greats in their field on the stage. The former is Associate Director IT & Security at IWC Schaffhausen, the latter is Chief of Staff in the crisis team at Primeo Energie, and the third is Head of Infrastructure at the St. Galler Kantonalbank.

Module 7, Fire protection and environmental protection: Fire safety and environmental protection are also compatible. However, what it takes to achieve this, what new hazardous situations as well as fire risks arise and what restrictions currently apply, will be reported in the last half-day of the Safety Congress 2022. According to the program, this will be on the agenda on Friday morning, January 21.

The participation fees for the Safety Congress include free admission to the Swissbau 2022 trade fair.
