> Welcome > President of ISSA
The challenges we are facing today with regard to the prevention of occupational risks due to the changes in the world of work are enormous. By working together, we can achieve considerable improvements and move closer towards our goal for a safe and healthy workplace. Greater understanding is always based on shared knowledge through an open exchange between all actors involved.

The XVIII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work provides the unique opportunity for this discussion and exchange, with a world-wide perspective, of current inter-disciplinary issues relating to all aspects of prevention.

It is a must for safety experts, decision-makers, employers' and workers' representatives and social security representatives to attend this exceptional worldwide event.

Prevention is everybody's concern and benefits everybody in all parts of the world.

I look forward to meeting you at this important Congress.
