Chairs of the DGUV Governing Committee
We are delighted to invite you to the XX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work 2014 in Germany, the country which virtually invented social security. In our country, social security dates back more than 125 years. During this time we have increased and intensifi ed our knowledge concerning prevention measures for the various branches of the economy. The result is a lasting improvement in safety and health at work. This is nevertheless not suffi cient for us. We have a vision: Vision Zero. A world in which work is safe and healthy. A world without severe and fatal occupational accidents.
In order for us to reach our goals, prevention is of the utmost importance. Well-planned and well-executed prevention measures benefi t employees and employers alike. Em-ployees profi t with their individual health and well-being. Employers gain in various ways, above all economically.
The quality of prevention measures demands state-of-the-art knowledge and forward thinking. New hazards are constantly emerging. In order for us to respond in the right way, we must be willing to broaden our horizons and to cooperate internationally. Virtu-ally every question with regard to prevention has an answer, somewhere in the world. We only need to fi nd it.
The World Congress 2014 will off er a platform for providing and fi nding sustainable support for prevention measures. Our globalized world brings challenges which concern all of us. Only if we share our knowledge will we be able to tackle upcoming problems.
We wish you an enjoyable stay in Frankfurt and that you meet new friends and interesting colleagues from all over the world. By working together we can make the world of work a better one.
Dr. Hans-Joachim Wolff Marina SchröderChairs of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) Governing Committee
President of the ISSA
The XX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work presents itself for the fi rst time as a Global Forum for Prevention. I very much welcome this development as it is fully in line with the new prevention approach of the International Social Security Association. While the key objective of the Congress remains to eff ectively prevent occupational accidents and diseases, it is time to take a more global view on the health and employ-ability of workers and to high-light the important contribution that social security institutions – especially those in the fi eld of occupational injury, health and invalidity – can make in risk prevention, health promotion and return to work.
The importance of prevention to our societies is evident. Over the past decades, preventive measures have saved millions of lives and avoided enormous human suff ering. Signifi cantly, a recent ISSA study on the costs and benefi ts of investments in prevention, which documented a global return on prevention of 120 per cent, has clearly revealed the enormous potential that prevention holds for businesses and society today. Hence, safe and healthy working conditions are increasingly understood as strategic assets.
Prevention is obviously a success story. However, many challenges remain as new risks emerge, such as mental health problems, and millions of workers, particularly in low- and medium-income countries, still are faced with dangerous working environments.
This XX World Congress provides a unique opportunity to address prevention from a more holistic and integrated point of view. Promoting a global prevention culture is the responsibility of society as a whole and involves all relevant stakeholders in society. The ISSA and its unique network of Prevention Sections are immensely proud of being the co-organizers of the World Congress.
I look forward to welcoming you in Frankfurt at the Global Forum for Prevention.
Errol Frank Stoové, President International Social Security Association (ISSA)

Präsident des XX. Weltkongresses
It is my pleasure as chairperson of the International Organizing Committee IOC to welcome you to the heart of Germany, to Frankfurt am Main and to the XX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work: Global Forum for Prevention from 24 to 27 August 2014.
We at the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) are very proud to have been selected to host this important event together with the International Social Security Association (ISSA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is further our aim to make your stay in Frankfurt, with its many tourist attractions, as enjoyable as possible. But fi rst and foremost we will be providing a rich programme highlighting the latest developments and new trends in safety and health at work. The extent of the problem calls for creative and courageous eff orts. The congress will serve as a meeting place for experts and decision-makers from all over the world exchanging views and experiences, best-practice examples and recent fi ndings.
Our aim is to reach sustainable results. We would consider it a great success if every participant will take home new ideas for practical approaches and eff ective measures. The congress will provide ample opportunities for participants to share their own experiences and exchange knowledge, make new acquaintances and develop future cooperation. Participation and interaction between the participants will therefore be strengthened through new and diverse event settings. Our main goals are to use networking to facilitate the extensive dissemination of sustainable prevention measures. We will also off er a range of technical tours, cultural experiences, a trade fair, social events and post conference activities.
In this spirit, I am looking forward to welcoming you in Frankfurt– to a fruitful and successful World Congress 2014.
Dr. Walter Eichendorf, Deputy Director General German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV)
Director General of the ILO
Today we live in a turbulent world. In a situation of global crisis, conditions in the world of work show few signs of improvement and many of deterioration. More than ever,it is time to re-affi rm that the right to a safe and healthy working environment is a basic human right, the protection of which should be ensured for all working men and women.
This XX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work 2014 will bring together decision-makers, government offi cials, safety and health professionals, employers, workers and experts from many relevant disciplines to share their knowledge, experience and inspiration on how to make workplaces safe and healthy everywhere.
For economies, societies and enterprises, safe and healthy workplaces are an added value con-tributing to better productivity and to reduction of the burden on social security systems due to work-related injuries and illnesses. The goal of safe and healthy workplaces must become an integral element of labour, social and economic policies in both bad times and good, helping to withstand economic downturns and to build prosperous societies.
Continuous changes in the world of work pose serious challenges to workers’ protection and call for a dynamic approach to tackling many existing and newly emerging issues. The World Congress 2014 will provide an excellent opportunity to take stock of health and safety implications of these changes and to share a vision for sustainable prevention and for in-depth consideration of ways to improve safety and health governance and address the diverse safety and health requirements of the world of work. The urgent need for protection of workers in the informal economy should receive our special attention as these women and men often remain out of reach of preventive eff orts and lack basic social protection.
Your contributions will make this Congress a genuinely international event promoting a global safety and health culture.
We are looking forward to your active participation.
Guy Ryder, Director General International Labour Organization (ILO)

1 Prevention Culture – Prevention Strategies – Vision Zero
Vision Zero – a world in which people work safely and healthily and in which they are protected against serious or fatal occupational accidents. This requires the development not only of a global prevention culture in the fi eld of occupational safe-ty and health (OSH), but also of sustainable stra-tegies – both of which improve human well-being and benefi t economies and social systems.
Motto and Main Topics
Sharing a Vision for Sustainable Prevention
2 Challenges in Occupational Health
Set against a backdrop of technological, economic and social developments and ever-increasing globalization, the protection of human health in the workplace represents a considerable challen-ge. The relocation of production facilities to other countries or continents is accompanied by the relocation of associated risks to human health.
3 Diversity in the World of Work
An increasing number of people from diff erent ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic backgrounds now work together. In addition, new forms of work characterized by heterogeneous working and employment conditions have developed around the world. Prevention strategies must be geared to these complex framework conditions and must ensure that social issues are not neglected in the course of economic globalization. Issues such as gender equality and demographic development are also relevant.

ILO Mon 25. August 2014 13:30 - 15:30T03 Challenges and strategies for promoting occupational health
It is widely recognized that safety and health of workers is essential for productivity and economic develop-ment. The improvement of safety and health management remains a serious challenge everywhere. The eco-nomic downturn has downsized occupational safety and health systems and preventive infrastructures which is making eff ective interventions at the workplace diffi cult. This session will discuss how to meet existing chal-lenges and implement sound strategies to improve preventive activities both nationally and globally.

Films and multimedia applications are an impor-tant instrument in the fi eld of occupational safety and health. From hazard awareness to complex sa-fety issues, moving pictures and interactive media are an ideal means of supporting the knowledge transfer process.
Viewing patterns and technical possibilities are constantly changing, and anyone who produces media content therefore needs to keep up to date. Set to take place as part of the World Congress 2014, the International Media Festival for Preventi-on will give an intriguing glimpse outside the box.
The Media Festival is not just a unique platform for the exchange of ideas. It also off ers an excellent opportunity to present productions to an interna-tional audience of safety and health experts – and receive feedback from all over the world. The best media productions will be presented with the In-ternational Media Award for Prevention.
Prizes will be awarded during the Special Media Session scheduled for 09:00-10:00 on Monday 25 August 2014. The session focuses on the theme of “Media as an Element of Prevention”, and is a must for anyone aiming to use visual means to make an impression in the fi elds of OSH and health protection. Selected productions will be presented at special locations throughout the Congress, and will off er a blend of information on the respective projects and interviews with fi lmmakers and pro-ducers – as well as discussions with members of the viewing audience.

Harvester vehicles, tree felling and the ergono-mics of removing branches from tree trunks using a chainsaw will be just some of the themes dealt with by the interactive exhibition in the open-air Agora space. Visitors with a special interest in forestry will have the opportunity to sit on anti-vibration driver’s seats, learn how to correctly climb in and out of mobile machines and assess the non-slip characteristics of a variety of surfaces and shoes on a purpose-built test slope. A wide range of regional partners will be on hand to present examples of safe forestry practices throughout the World Congress 2014.
Road safety is another topic set to be explored in the Agora space, for example in the form of pre-sentations on issues such as parking with the aid of autonomous parking assistants and the protection provided by truck seatbelts. In addition, a simulator will give visitors the opportunity to fi nd out what it feels like inside a rolling vehicle. The “outdoor” programme accompanying the Congress will be supplemented by fi tness programmes, coordinati-on training sessions and health checks.
Trade FairCongress and OSH trade fair hand-in-hand
The World Congress 2014 and the accompanying national conference “Arbeitsschutz Aktuell“ will be held in conjunction with Germany’s largest dome-stic trade fair on occupational safety and health. Manufacturers and service providers will use the event to present their latest product innovations. The trade fair will run from 25 to 28 August 2014.

Recreational and Cultural Tours
The World Congress 2014 also provides opportuni-ties for participation in a variety of recreational and cultural events.
“Frankfurt by coach” city tourExperience the highlights that Frankfurt has to off er from the comfort of a modern coach and with an expert guide. The tour includes a walk around the Römerberg, Frankfurt's Old City; a visit to the Goethe House; and a view from the Main Tower, 200 metres above the hub of international fi nance.
You can of course discover Frankfurt, the metropo-lis on the river Main, for yourself and in the compa-ny of expert guides, or take trips into the surroun-ding region:
“Historic Frankfurt” – introduces you to the city's history as the place of election and coronation of kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and shows, by way of vivid examples, how the metro-polis developed from the middle ages through to its current status as a centre of international fi nance.
“On the trail of Goethe” – a tour that brings the biography and work of Goethe, the greatest genius of the German language, to life before your eyes.
“Frankfurt and apple wine” – no one can under-stand the city and people of Frankfurt without becoming acquainted with “ebbelwei”, as the city's “national drink” is known. Why not join us on a trip to Sachsenhausen? We're waiting for you – with music, pretzels and of course “ebbelwei”.
“A cruise on the Main” – for a very special perspec-tive on Frankfurt's skyline, take a cruise on one of the numerous vessels plying the river Main. In particular, don't miss the opportunity to take a trip between Gerbermühle and Griesheim.
“Dialogue Museum” – discovering the invisible: in completely lightless rooms, blind staff guide visitors through an exhibition that takes the form of a number of everyday situations. Experience these in a completely new way – without sight. The muse-um makes blind people ambassadors of a “culture without images”.
“Saalburg and Hessenpark” – the Roman fort of Saalburg is part of the the UNESCO World Heritage of the Limes, the fortifi cations on the former bound-ary between the Roman Empire and the territories of the Germanic tribes. Travel 2000 years back in time as you stroll around the park-like site, situated in the splendid countryside of the Taunus. Experience histo-ry, culture and the way of life of another era, one that is perhaps closer to us than we think. The Hessenpark takes you back some four centuries in time. Over a hundred buildings, from the Hessian manor to the tavern, bring an era back to life that was typical of the region's agricultural past.
“Shopping tour to Wertheim Village” – the shop-ping experience par excellence! Half-way between Frankfurt and Würzburg, over 100 outlet boutiques await you with an enormous choice of German and foreign brands, and with reduced prices all the year round. Take a break from your shopping activity at one of the catering establishments on site.

DGUV
The national host of the World Congress 2014 is the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). The DGUV is the umbrella association of the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions.
For 125 years, these institutions have been experts in prevention, rehabilitation and compensation. The statutory accident insurance in Germany protects all employees against the consequences of occupational and commuting accidents, occu-pational diseases and work-related health hazards. It absolves employers of their liability under civil law to their employees for occupational accidents and diseases. The protection of the statutory accident insurance also extends to schoolchildren,students, children in day-care facilities and voluntary workers. Altogether, around 76 million people and 4 million companies and institutionsare insured.
“Prevention before compensation” is the principleof the statutory accident insurance system. For this reason, the statutory accident insurance institutions employ a wide range of measures and resources to ensure that work is carried out safely and healthily – in order to prevent accidents from occuring in the fi rst place at workplaces or in educational establishments, or occupational diseases from being contracted.
The German Social Accident Insurance Institutionsfulfi l their statutory functions by means of an autonomous administration, a form of manage-ment in which employers and insured individuals (employees) enjoy equal rights. This ensures that the interests of employers and insured employees are respected in equal measure. The task of legal supervision lies with the state.
The DGUV represents the statutory accident insurance institutions in their dealings with policymakers, regional, national, European and international institutions, and employers' and employees' representative bodies. In addition, the DGUV supports its members in all issues of a generic nature, develops common measures for prevention, promotes the ongoing development of rehabilitation, and addresses new methods and approaches in education and training. The DGUV maintains its own research institutes, which are specialized in the complex causal relationships of occupational exposure and health risks.

About the ILO
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the UN agency that specializes in the world of work. It was founded in 1919 as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I to refl ect the principle that universal and lasting peace can only be achieved if it is built on social justice. The ILO is the only 'tripartite' United Nations agency that brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers to shape policies and
programmes for social justice and decent working and living conditions for all women and men. For this it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969. The protection of workers against sickness, diseases and injury is a primary task of the Organization, which is also responsible for drawing up and overseeing international labour standards (Conventions and Recommendations) – many of which address occupational safety and health.

This unique arrangement gives the ILO an edge in incorporating 'real world' knowledge about employment and work.
In 2008, the ILO constituents adopted the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globali-zation, which articulates the contemporary vision of the ILO’s mandate in an era of globalization. In 2009, the ILO adopted the Global Jobs Pact, which serves as a policy framework for measures centred on investment, employment and social protection to accelerate jobs recovery in a time of crisis. In 2012, the ILO adopted a Recommenda-tion concerning national fl oors of social protection (No.202), which advocates for the establishment of social protection fl oors as a fundamental ele-
