The seminar on the principles of standardisation work in occupational safety and health is intended for anyone working in standards committees or seeking to become involved with standardisation in the interests of safety and health.

It will be held this year from 22 to 24 September in Sankt Augustin (in German). 
This seminar familiarises participants with the procedures for standards development and the opportunities available to them to exert influence at the various phases. It covers the drafting and revision of standards, legal aspects such as harmonisation and the presumption of conformity, and also globalisation and current trends in standardisation. Valuable advice will be provided, such as on searching for information on standardisation and standards, by which work on the committees can be made more effective. The seminar is also a good opportunity for networking with other experts.
Part of the seminar will be held in the machinery workshop and the facilities for personal protective equipment at the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the DGUV (IFA). Participants will learn there with reference to specific examples how the requirements of standards are implemented in practice.
The seminar will be held jointly by the DGUV Academy and KAN. To register, visit: WebGate
