Safety & Work https://safety-work.org// Web Feed für Safety Work Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:18:13 CEST 13th International Conference Working on Safety (WOS): Shaping the Future of Occupational Safety and Health: Innovation, Resilience, and Wellbeing https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/v-z.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//user_upload/WOS-2026-logo-04.png"/> <div/> The focus is on the development, use, and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure, assess, manage, and communicate risk, and to analyse, design, and implement decision-making mechanisms and systems. Our areas of focus revolve around two basic pillars; risk and decision science with an application to several horizontal areas such as Security, Safety, Telecommunications, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Industrial Processes. Back pain: How to prevent, how to keep it from coming back. A message for workers https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/p-r.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/Rueckenschmerzen__Wie_man_ihnen_vorbeugt_und_wie_man_verhindert__dass_sie_wieder_auftreten._Eine_Botschaft_fuer_Arbeitnehmende/logo_ebt.png"/> <div/> Back pain is the most common type of pain and one of the most frequent reasons for medical consultation. According to expert estimates, 60–80% of the population will experience it over the course of their life. Therefore, EBT Venezia decided to provide an own contribution, based on the experience gained, on this health prevention topic, which is particularly relevant also for migrant workers. In the case of migrant workers in Italy, back pain or neck pain can often be related to the type of work they perform. AUVA Prevention Forum https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/a-c.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/images/news/AUVA_Logo_v2.png"/> <div/> Safety experts present new developments at Austria's most important specialist event in the field of prevention, provide information on regulations, present campaigns for safety and health at work, and conduct workshops and excursions. Forum for Occupational Health and Safety https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/d-f.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/images/news/logo-sst-de.svg"/> <div/> The Luxembourg Association d'assurance accident (AAA) is hosting its forum on occupational health and safety in a trade fair format at Luxexpo The Box on 25 March 2026. In addition to the Luxembourg Occupational Safety Award, which will be presented during a short plenary session, exhibitors will showcase innovative solutions and products related to safety and health in the workplace. The trade fair will be complemented by around 20 workshops, which will take place throughout the day.&nbsp; Hazards associated with welding work on metallic materials https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/g-i.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/Gefaehrdungen_bei_schweisstechnischen_Arbeiten_an_metallischen_Werkstoffen/Schweissen.jpg"/> <div/> This safety training aims to highlight the main hazards associated with welding work on metallic materials and to raise awareness of these hazards among employees. The term 'welding work' is used below as a synonym for welding and related processes, such as soldering, metal spraying and thermal cutting. It also includes ancillary work such as grinding that is directly related to the application of these processes.&nbsp; Maintenance via remote access – IT-security aspects https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/v-z.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/Wartung_per_Fernzugriff_-_IT-Sicherheitsaspekte/Teaser_Gemini_Generated_Image_m43n3nm43n3nm43n.jpg"/> <div/> Digitalisation continues to advance in mechanical engineering. Remote maintenance is being used more and more frequently for machines and, if used improperly, can endanger the health and safety of employees. What needs to be considered to ensure that remote maintenance can be implemented safely and successfully? 7 ways to harness the health and safety potential of your multi-generational workforce https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/0-9.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/7_Moeglichkeiten__das_Gesundheits-_und_Sicherheitspotenzial_Ihrer_multigenerationellen_Belegschaft_zu_nutzen/wsps_logo_color.png"/> <div/> People from different generations bring unique ideas that can boost productivity, creativity, and workplace safety. But their unique backgrounds and ways of working can also lead to misunderstandings that get in the way of safety efforts.&nbsp; Module “Packaging” https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/d-f.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/Explosionssicherheit_von_Schuettgutanlagen/Teaser_Modul_Verpackung_engl.png"/> <div/> The use of complex systems and installations requires a suitable risk assessment for each individual explosion risk. A modular structure has been developed for the explosion safety of bulk solids systems, which makes it easier to divide the assessment for a system with regard to the explosion risk into smaller units, so-called &quot;modules&quot;. In addition to a clear layout, this enables a targeted and process-oriented approach. The overall concept consists of the modules &quot;Explosion characteristics&quot;, &quot;Raw material reception&quot;, &quot;Storage&quot;, &quot;Processing&quot; and &quot;Packaging&quot;. Vision Zero Calendar 2025 https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/v-z.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/articles/Vision_Zero_Kalender_2025/Calender_2025-reduced-1_Bild.jpg"/> <div/> The ISSA Construction Section has launched with strong support of the OSH-Academy a unique wall calendar that documents 365 accidents from around the world, one for each day of the year. This calendar serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of safety and prevention in our daily lives. HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN A MULTIETHNIC WORLD https://safety-work.org//en/teaser/g-i.html <div><img width="300" style="max-width: 300px; float:left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" src="https://safety-work.org//fileadmin//safety-work/images/about_us/EBT.jpg"/> <div/> &nbsp;The Western society we live in offers enormous health benefits. However, the same conditions that make it rich in comfort also conceal dangers to well-being and contribute to the spread of chronic diseases. Those who come from other cultures and geographical areas, living and working in our context, may be even more exposed to these risks.
