30th Congress of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH)
22/06/2011 - Submitted by: Hohenstein Rena
The ICOH 2012 Congress will bring together occupational health researchers and practitioners worldwide to share and learn from each other the most current advances in the wide field of occupational health.
The site of the Congress has been shifted from Monterrey where it was originally planned to Cancun to ensure the security of the participants throughout the meeting period. Cancun provides the perfect setting for the international exchange of advances in research and practice.
The debate in Cancun will centre around the Congress theme of Occupational Health for All: from Research to Practice with focuses on proactive risk management procedures and innovative solution-based approaches. The progress in these aspects is seen in the broad-ranging activities of 34 ICOH Scientific Committees that will actively take part in the organization of the symposia, mini-symposia and special sessions of the 2012 Congress.
Serial sessions will be organized to promote regional and network-based cooperation for achieving good occupational health practices. The discussion and dialogue at the Congress will surely help us respond to urgent needs of workers and better understand the principles and ethics of our own occupational activities.
