Plenary session
Reports on sessions 5 to 8


PART D - Evaluation of OSH Research Institutes and their services


5th plenary lecture
Evaluation of OSH research institutes and OSH service providers – Aims, strategies, indicators
Park Doo Yong, Hansung University, South Korea

This lecture outlines approaches for the evaluation of private or public OSH service providers on the basis of appropriate case studies.


6th plenary lecture
Strategic agility – An oxymoron or a necessity for OSH organizations?
Harri Vainio, FIOH, Finland

Maintaining and developing sustainable cultures of work in future will require two things: Firstly, the productivity of their workplaces must be raised to levels in which the organizations are able to operate profitably even if the global competitive pressures will increase significantly in comparison to the present situation. Secondly, the promotion of sustainable economic growth and the creation of more sustainable forms of work must be done simultaneously. These two preconditions require strategic agility also from OSH organizations. But if they are met, the citizens may have good reasons to believe that work can have a future and that this future is something that is worth striving for.


PART E - Research on the effectiveness of prevention measures at the workplace


7th plenary lecture
Research for prevention in the US
John L. Henshaw, Former Assistant Secretary of Labour of the US government, USA

The lecture focuses on general research issues and development around the prevention of workplace accidents and disease originating in the United States. In this regard, the balance between research and regulation in the US and efforts of the new NIOSH initiative "Research to Practice (r2p)" will be discussed.
