Migration requires significant cultural adjustments and substantial changes to traditional dietary habits and lifestyles, which are often not favorable. https://safety-work.org/en/teaser/s-u.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/Statische_Elektrizitaet_-_Zuendgefahren_und_Schutzmassnahmen/Statische_Elektrizitaet_-_Zuendgefahren_und_Schutzmassnahmen.png"/> <div/> In modern industry, static electricity poses a significant ignition risk. In environments where flammable gases, vapors or dusts are present, even a small electrostatic spark can be enough to trigger a devastating explosion. 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/Ruf_nach_den_besten_Arbeiten_der_Gesellschaft_fuer_Sicherheitswissenschaft_e.V/Hexagonheader.jpg"/> <div/> (Application deadline: 15.12.2024) The Gesellschaft für Sicherheitswissenschaft e.V. (Society for Safety Science - GfS) awards the Peter Compes Prize to promote young scientists. The prize is associated with prize money of 3,000 € and serves to promote young researchers in the field of security science. The prize is awarded at a GfS event. https://safety-work.org/en/teaser/s-u.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/Safety_Award_2025/ISSA_Safety_Award_Logo.png"/> <div/> For the ISSA Section Machine and System Safety, the safety of machines has always been a concern of high value. Progress has been made in the past, but there are still too many accidents in relation with machines worldwide which not only cause human suffering, but also entail substantial costs for the social insurance systems. 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/Praxishilfe_zur_Erstellung_des_Explosionsschutzdokumentes/Praxishilfe_zur_Erstellung_des_Explosionsschutzdokumentes.png"/> <div/> Due to high temperatures and pressures, explosions cannot only cause damage to property and production downtime, but can also pose an immediate danger to the life and health of employees and other persons. For this reason, legal standards have been drawn up worldwide with the aim of preventing explosions. https://safety-work.org/en/teaser/m-o.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/Neue_News-App_MASon/MASon_PSA-Handbuch.png"/> <div/> With the new news app MASon, developed by the Austrian Occupational Safety Association (VAS) together with the Austrian Workers' Compensation Board (AUVA), the concentrated expertise of the two cooperation partners on all aspects of health and safety in the workplace is now available to you in one place, accessible at any time, digitally at the touch of a button, always up-to-date and free of charge. 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/Diabetes__wie_wir_ihn_verhindert_koennen__wie_wir_ihn_unter_Kontrolle_halten_muessen/EBT.jpg"/> <div/> Migrant workers are faced with a strong need for change and adaptation to new contexts, including lifestyle, nutritional habits, leisure activities, etc. In recent years clinical investigations carried out for migrant workers gave evidence that the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension within the communities of these workers is far from negligible .&nbsp; Easy&nbsp; documents &nbsp;on how to steer lifestyle and nutritional habits towards prevention can therefore be helpful. 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/Relaunch_der_Webseite_Stop_defeating/ivss-stop-defeating_400w.jpg"/> <div/> Against the background of global markets, the problem of defeated protective equipment is not limited to individual countries. An international exchange of information on this topic is therefore useful and necessary. With the information on this website, the ISSA Section Machine and System Safety contributes to an open discussion on the subject of defeating protective devices in companies. These discussions can be the basis for further solutions to avoid incentives for defeating in the future and thus to prevent defeating of protective devices. 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/Gefahrstoffvideos/csm_Header_Microsite-Gefahrstoffvideos_b55ed316c3.jpg"/> <div/> Hazardous substances are found almost everywhere and the risks they pose should not be underestimated. A good risk assessment helps to handle these hazards so that you can work safely with them and protect the health of your employees.
