In the current issue 10/2023 of the DGUV Forum, Basi Managing Director Dr. Christian Felten gives an interview with an outlook on the three focal points of the 38th International A+A Congress 2023: Climate change, sustainability and digitalization.
What do respirators, collaborative robots and business trips have in common? Standards are being developed for them that play an important role in occupational safety and health. This and many other topics were discussed by the board and members of the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work (Basi) e. V. at its members’ meeting, which took place in Hamburg this time.
Sustainable management is inextricably linked to social sustainability and good working conditions – as Dr. Christian Felten, Managing Director of Basi, emphasizes in the current DEKRA Occupational Safety Report 2023. The interview with him deals with trends in occupational safety.
The 38th International A+A Congress 2023 is taking shape: Sustainable strategies for safety and health at work have been identified as a key topic for the congress, which will take place alongside the A+A trade fair in Düsseldorf from October 24 to 27, 2023. Basi, the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work, has conducted a survey of experts on this topic.
Do we work more relaxed and effectively if we plan more intensively and precisely? How do we deal safely with carcinogenic hazardous substances? And: What risks to our health can we generally expect in the workplace in the future? Answers to these and other topical questions can be found at the upcoming events of Basi, the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work, with its guests – online, on site or hybrid. From October 2022, the “Call for Participation” will also be looking for exciting topics for the A+A Congress 2023.
Exhibiting companies can now register for A+A 2023. The world’s leading trade fair and congress event for personal protection, occupational safety and health will take place in Düsseldorf from October 24 to 27, 2023. Under the motto “People matter”, numerous exhibitors will be presenting innovative solutions and concepts for safe and healthy working at A+A 2023. This time, the major megatrends of digitalization and sustainability will form the thematic umbrella of the leading international trade fair.
Companies that focus on sustainable occupational health and safety are well positioned – also economically. The discussion partners at the first edition of the online format “Die Basi im Dialog” agreed on this. Around 200 participants put many questions to Dr Christian Felten, Managing Director of Basi, the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work, and his guest Sebastian Bartels, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Sustainability Services at the global expert organization DEKRA.
How valuable are health and safety at work – not only in terms of motivated, healthy employees, but also for the sustainability and competitiveness of companies? What approaches are there, for example, for decision-makers to integrate occupational health and safety into sustainability strategies? What should company stakeholders do? Answers to these and many other questions were provided at the successful 1st online edition of “Die Basi im Dialog”. The recorded event will be available to watch shortly, and a follow-up report and a collection of links to the topics addressed will be sent out with the Basi News.
