Standardization
Since it was founded 30 years ago, the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (KAN) has dealt with a wide range of topics. In the beginning, it was mainly concerned with product safety standards; today, KAN deals with standardization policy developments, among other things: from artificial intelligence to climate change and the circular economy to the revision of the EU Standardization Regulation. The KANBrief now reports in detail on the symposium that KAN hosted in Berlin to mark its 30th anniversary.
Are standardization and occupational health and safety like ships passing each other in the dark, or do they actively complement each other in their objectives? How do standards play a role in occupational health and safety? These and many other aspects will be discussed in the latest edition of the successful online event “Die Basi im Dialog”. Join us on April 25, 2024, 3:30 p.m. – and feel free to inform other interested parties. You can already register now.
An interview in the trade journal Personal Protection & Fashion (PPF) with Dr Michael Thierbach, a consultant at the office of the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (KAN), discusses what makes protective equipment virtually intelligent. Dr. Thierbach explains why the big breakthrough is still a long way off and why the topic of “standardization” is not an easy one.
