A+A and Basi Call for Joint Commitment on World Safety and Health Day

On April 28, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, the leading trade fair A+A and the German Federal Association for Occupational Safety and Health (Basi), reaffirmed their commitment to the further development of global occupational safety and health. Using the hashtag #WorldSafetyandHealthDay, A+A and its partner Basi asked everyone involved to discuss the future of safety and health on social networks. The aim was to find solutions for the wide-ranging challenges in a rapidly changing world of work.

Ongoing digitalization, climate change and developments in the world of work 4.0 pose new and complex challenges for companies and their employees – including mental stress due to excessive demands, increased flexibility and disruption (new or significantly changed business models). In addition to well-known hazards such as asbestos, new products are creating ‘hazmats’ whose impact on workers’ health is often not yet known.

Global networking strengthens occupational safety and health by enabling the exchange of best practices and innovative solutions across international borders. Messe Düsseldorf supports this approach with its international trade fair portfolio for Occupational Safety & Health, which includes CIOSH in Shanghai, OSHA in Singapore and TOS+H Expo 2024 in Turkey. Basi cooperates with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), the International Social Security Association (ISSA) and the ORP Foundation (Occupational Risk Prevention) to promote the cause.
