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
intensied 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 suf 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 benet employees and employers alike. Em-
ployees prot 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 nd it.
The World Congress 2014 will ofer a platform for providing and 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 Wolf Marina Schrder
Chairs 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 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 efectively 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 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 sufering. Signicantly, a
recent ISSA study on the costs and benets 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.

International Social Security Association (ISSA)

Prsident 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 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 eforts. 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 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 efective 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 ofer 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-af 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 of 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 eforts 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 eld of occupational safe-
ty and health (OSH), but also of sustainable stra-
tegies both of which improve human well-being
and benet 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 diferent
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.

T03 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 efective interventions at the workplace dif cult. This session will discuss how to meet existing chal-
lenges and implement sound strategies to improve preventive activities both nationally and globally.

T04 Healthy workplaces healthy workers
Safe and healthy work is a basic prerequisite for success in a globalized economy. Modern integrative strate-
gies of occupational safety and health and of health promotion contribute to the retention of good health and
thereby of employability. They thus also support the attaining of economic targets. New strategies that link the
safety of workers to the retention of human resources and a lifestyle that involves responsibility for one's own
health will be presented in the technical session from the perspectives of companies, OSH institutions and the
research community.

such as young and older persons, women, or persons with disabilities enjoy the same right to a safe and healthy
working environment as other groups..

ternational Media Award for Prevention.
Prizes will be awarded during the Special Media
Session scheduled for 09:00-10:00 on Monday
25August 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 elds of OSH and health
protection. Selected productions will be presented

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 institutions
are insured.
Prevention before compensation is the principle
of 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 rst place at workplaces
or in educational establishments, or occupational
diseases from being contracted.
The German Social Accident Insurance Institutions
full 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 reect 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 ILOs 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 oors of social protection
(No.202), which advocates for the establishment
of social protection oors as a fundamental ele-
