International Symposium on Culture of Prevention – Future Approaches, to be held on 25–27 September 2013 in Helsinki, Finland.

On 29 June 2008, the XVIII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work signed the Seoul Declaration on Safety and Health at Work. The declaration included statements concerning national governments’ responsibility for perpetuating a “national preventative safety and health culture”, for systematically improving their national safe workplace performance, and for providing a health standard with appropriate enforcement to protect workers. This Symposium continues the international co-operation in the area of prevention culture that ISSA International Culture of Prevention launched in 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey and which will continue in the XX World Congress in Frankfurt, Germany 2014.

The aim of the Symposium is to bring together researchers, experts and European and international networks in the field to discuss the aims, means and solutions of developing a culture of prevention in organizations and workplaces.

The Symposium will discuss the culture of prevention related to occupational risks, such as accidents, workplace violence and psychosocial risks at work. The focus will also be on organizational culture and modes of operation in organizations, and on the attitudes and behaviour of individual employees.

The Symposium promises to be an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas, generating research and collaboration, networking, and social interaction.

The Symposium will be the Institute of Occupational Health Finnish organizations.
