Programme EN
Colloquium of the ISSA International Section for Research on Prevention
15th October 2009
INTRODUCTION
Welcome by the President of the Research Section,
Jean-Luc Marié
The relevance of research for prevention worldwide
Address by Hans-Horst Konkolewsky, Secretary General of ISSA
1st plenary lecture
Risk-oriented research and its preventing effects – A critical review
Jean-Luc Marié, INRS, France
OSH research is only effective, if its results improve the quality of workplaces and working procedures. The transfer of these results into prevention services is therefore one of the essential criteria of OSH research. Indicators show today that the effectiveness and efficiency of this transfer could be improved.
This lecture will include case studies from industry, demonstrating the successful transfer of research results.
PART A - Research on the effectiveness of prevention services
2nd plenary lecture
Indicators on the effectiveness of prevention services
Nilton Freitas, Sindicato dos Quimicos do ABC, Brazil
If the transfer of OSH research into prevention services is to be systematically improved, ways have to be found to assess or even measure the effectiveness and efficiency of these prevention services. As a consequence we also need research to improve these services. Indicators serve as a substitute yardstick of information and phenomena that cannot be directly measured. The lecture describes suitable indicators for the most important OSH prevention services and for the improvement of the OSH transfer.
Parallel sessions on the different prevention services
Up to 8 lectures per session (10 minutes each)
Session 1 - Interaction between different OSH services
- Chair: Hanna Zieschang, DGUV, Germany
- Rapporteur: Rolf Marter, DGUV, Germany
The interaction between different OSH services will be reported on. These can include inspection, consultations, information, communication, investigations e.g. in the event of occupational accidents or diseases, testing and certification of work equipment, training (qualification) and OSH research. This session will also include reports on the effectiveness of combined services.
- Cameron Mustard, IWH, Canada
Development of a performance measurement report for the prevention system in a Canadian province - Stefan Drodofsky/Jens Jühling, BGETE, Germany
New challenges in the field of prevention in small enterprises - Pawel Rozowski, GIP, Poland
Preventative activities – Strategic planning and evaluation - Catherine Montagnon, INRS, France
Research, assistance, training and consultancy in practice: A virtuous circle - Hanna Zieschang, DGUV, Germany
Networking of competencies: Reciprocal action between prevention services
Session 2 - OSH consultation and inspection
- Chair: Ho Siong Hin, Ministry of Manpower, Singapore
- Rapporteur: Ruth Krausse, DGUV, Germany
These prevention services include consulting for employer and the employees/insured for the prevention of occupational accidents, occupational diseases and work-related health hazards. Consulting can be carried out upon request, in the course of targeted prevention strategies,in connection with plant tours and as collective consultations, e.g. in the context of national and international standardisation procedures. The consultations are backed up by monitoring the measures taken within the companies to prevent occupational accidents, occupational diseases and work-related health hazards plus the provision of first aid. Monitoring covers:
- inspections,
- instructions to eliminate deficiencies,
- monitoring of deficiency elimination.
With reference to individual examples, this session will show how prevention within the companies can be improved by research on more efficient monitoring and consulting procedures in industry.

OSH monitoring: A review of current research - Eleni Douvi, ERGOSE S.A., Greece
Research on the safety climate in ERGOSE’s worksites - Christoph Preusse, BGM, Germany
Process observation at machine tools – Approach of prevention and reality
Session 3 - OSH research
- Chair: Dietmar Reinert, DGUV, Germany
- Rapporteur: Annekatrin Wetzstein, DGUV, Germany
OSH research aims to identify causal relations between working conditions and their effects on safety and health and to ensure participation in the development, testing and validation of effective prevention strategies and measures. OSH research is one of the strongest initiators for the improvement of other prevention services and therefore has to undergo continuous improvement itself. How this can be successfully performed is discussed in this session.

Session 4 - Investigations, testing and certification
- Chair: Daniel Podgórski, CIOP, Poland
- Rapporteur: Volker Didier, DGUV, Germany
Investigations are carried out as a means of ascertaining the causes of and circumstances accompanying occupational accidents, occupational diseases and work-related health hazards. By learning from past mistakes, prevention approaches for the future can be systematically improved. Whereas investigations are performed in the companies themselves, testing and certification on the manufacturers’ site are considered to be an effective means to exert an influence on the development of safe products. This session shows how investigation, testing and certification can lead to safe workplaces with safe working equipment and processes and how these services aid to transfer OSH research into safe products.

PART B - Prevention as an effective and efficient service for the companies
3rd plenary lecture
Quality in Prevention: Outcomes of a research project by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV)
Bodo Pfeiffer, DGUV, Germany
For the implementation of their statutory prevention assignments, the statutory accident insurance institutions in Germany provide a variety of prevention services.
These services are substantially driven by the results of applied research in the field of OSH. The most important services are:
- monitoring and consultation,
- provision of information and information material, communication,
- investigations, testing and certification,
- training and further training in OSH,
- research and development.
The goal of all these services is to preserve, protect, improve and, if necessary, restore the health, quality of life, mobility and performance of employees by exercising influence on the companies. All parties responsible, and thus the statutory accident insurance institutions, are called upon to carry out prevention work on the basis of the best available scientific and technical knowledge and at a high level of quality. This demands regular analysis, assessment and, if necessary, improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of prevention services. Against this background, the statutory accident insurance institutions of the industrial sector have carried out a research project on the evaluation of prevention services. This plenary lecture reports on the available findings of the project.
PART C - Research into the following subject: How can we facilitate and promote the implementation of OSH activities in the companies?
4th plenary lecture
How can companies improve OS&H performance through adoption of leading practices?
Sietse van der Woude, South African Chamber of Mines, South Africa
Companies are often not aware of the results of OSH research. In some cases they do not use prevention services to improve safety and health. What new strategies do we have to encourage companies to invest in OSH?
Appropriate tools will be presented and discussed in the following parallel sessions. The plenary lecture will provide an introduction on how the acceptance of OSH measures can be enhanced.
