Message from the President
Dear ICOH Colleagues,
The three-year cycle of the ICOH work is
fully suited to the planning and development
patterns of our joint activities. We started
new plans and initiatives of occupational
health research and practice following the
Cancun Congress. With renewed insights,
we proceeded with interlinked outcomes
as reported at the Midterm Meeting held
this year. Reflecting this progress, we are
preparing for the 2015 Seoul Congress
with full involvement of our Scientific
Committees and National/Area Secretaries.
We hope to learn from the broad-ranging
advances in this triennial get-together.
The Chairs and Secretaries of the
Scientific Committees I met during and after
the Midterm Meeting as well as National
Secretaries joining regional conferences
I attended were all enthusiastic about
promoting our share of work for the health
of all workers. I could confirm substantial
gains in promoting proactive research and
ethical principles and expanding effective
and basic occupational health services. In
collaborating with our international allies,
these three-year plans and outcomes really
have positive impacts.
Roles of international
collaboration
Information on Bid Submission
for ICOH Congress 2021 39
The main emphasis of our ICOH work is
placed on fostering the knowledge-base and
development of occupational health through
this international collaboration, as stated in
our Constitution. Advances are visible in
the outcomes of the Scientific Committees’
conferences and our statements and
guidance materials.
ICOH Officers and Board

A good example of our leadership
role was noted at the Symposium on the
Keynote Speakers of ICOH
Congress 2015 32
Résumé en français 33
Knowledge Network in Occupational
Health, jointly organized by ICOH and
ISSA (International Social Security
Association) at the 20th World Congress
on Safety and Health at Work, held last
August in Frankfurt by the ILO and ISSA.
Chairing the symposium, Jorma Rantanen
reported that the ongoing networks in
occupational health, in most of which ICOH
was involved, were proactively contributing
to meeting new challenges and filling gaps
in supporting all workers. Such bridging
roles were found to accelerate preventive
actions for emerging risks and needsoriented services for workplaces in difficult
situations.
We strongly support these catalytic
roles of the knowledge networks. It
is encouraging that the outcomes of
our activities contribute to developing
workplace-level actions in diverse settings.
The ICOH Work Organization and
Psychosocial Factors 2014 Congress,
held in Adelaide last September, was a
prominent occasion to provide guidance
about workplace interventions for managing
psychosocial risks and promoting health
and well-being of workers in diverse work
situations. At the centre of discussion

was the action framework for job design
addressing these risks. The required
framework is relevant to interventions to
prevent multifaceted work-related risks
and therefore its effectiveness needs to be
assessed as part of daily occupational health
practice in diversifying working situations.
As this debate showed, attention is drawn
to the need to develop competence for
practical interventions workable in local
situations.
The Helsinki Declaration and
follow-up
Another prominent example was seen at
the International Conference on Monitoring
and Surveillance of Asbestos-related
Diseases 2014, held in Helsinki with the
collaboration of the ICOH Working Group
on the Implementation of the Global
Strategy of Occupational Health with a
special reference to global ban of asbestos.
The conference discussed the updating
of the Helsinki criteria for detection,
diagnosis and attribution of asbestos-related
diseases. The Helsinki Declaration on
Management and Elimination of AsbestosRelated Diseases (ARDs) adopted by the
Conference thus confirms that primary
prevention is the only effective way to
eliminate ARDs. It calls for policies,
regulations and practices for the prevention
of risks and for effective protection of
workers in removal and waste handling
of asbestos from existing structure. The
Declaration emphasizes the collaboration of
all scientific and professional communities
as guided by WHO, ILO and ICOH. All this
is in line with the ICOH 2013 Statement:
Global Asbestos Ban and the Elimination of
Asbestos-Related Diseases.
The guidance of the Declaration is
essential for preventing the epidemic of
ARDs from being repeated among workers
and communities in the developing world.
Joint efforts should be made at all levels
of prevention, including regulatory and
practical measures for the protection of
workers and the implementation of the ban.
As emphasized by the ICOH Statement,
we need to continue to combine our effort
based on professional competences needed
for supporting comprehensive national
efforts to eliminate ARDs.
This need for joint follow-up of
the Helsinki Declaration and the ICOH
Statement should be incorporated in our
plans of action in this triennium and beyond.
While we are making steady progress in
this area through our three-year cycles, we
need to develop comprehensive preventive
measures that can cover all workplaces.
Guided by Bernardino
Ramazzini
A special event: Bernardino Ramazzini,
Three-centenary from Death was held last
October at the Aula Magna of the Padova
University in Italy, co-organized by ICOH
and the Italian Society of Occupational
Medicine and Industrial Hygiene. This year
marks the three-centenary from death of
Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714) who
was a professor of practical medicine at
Padova University since 1700. He is the
author of the monumental work “Morbis
Artificum Diatriba” (Diseases of Workers),
a milestone for prevention of occupational
diseases for over three centuries. It outlines
the health hazards of chemicals, repetitive
or violent motions, odd postures and
other work-related risks encountered by
workers in 52 occupations. He proposes that
physicians extend the list of questions they
ask their patients by adding “What is your
occupation?”
His work translated into many
languages and his cultural legacy serve
today as a leading practical guide for
occupational health practice. We realize
the three-centenary development in our
profession has evolved with a continuous
spectrum of practice reflecting strategic
thinking. This is closely related to the ethical
principles of our conduct. In our cyclic
collaborative effort, we need to continue to
establish a common framework of action
learning from this continuous spectrum.
Within the scientific programme of the
2015 Seoul Congress, we are organizing a
Global Forum on Future of Occupational
Health. We hope to provide answers to the
key questions about our strategies meeting
challenges of decent working conditions
conducive to occupational health and work
ability and how the research and expert
organizations provide support for these
efforts. The Forum is expected to elucidate
the future directions of our network
activities in research knowledge, training
and services based on our traditions and
renewed insights.
I look forward to seeing you all at the
2015 ICOH Congress in Seoul.

Content of this Issue
Occupational health professionals may face emergency
care or treatment at workplace. There will be a protocol to
deal with this condition in each country. However, there is
no information at an international level on this matter. Dr.
Alexis Descatha, ICOH National Secretary of France, has
delivered on-line surveys to 51 ICOH National Secretaries
and members of the Working Group for Emergency Care.
The survey result is reported and will be used for the further
development of international cooperation on emergency
care.
It is important to diagnose occupational diseases not
only for compensation but also for prevention. The first step
for diagnosis is to set the criteria. Each country has its own
diagnostic criteria on occupational diseases. However, the
stage of development is different from country to country
according to economic development or other factors.
Ten countries in South East Asia will unite to be ASEAN
Community for Economic, Security and Cultural by the
year 2015. They need to develop the diagnostic criteria
for ASEAN countries because workers will travel freely
in the region when they are united. Representatives of ten
countries met in Singapore on 7-9 July 2014 and agreed
with development of occupational disease diagnostic criteria
in ASEAN countries. Dr. Adul Bandhukul, ICOH National
Secretary of Thailand, reports the result of the meeting and
they will also organize a special session on ‘Development of
Diagnostic Criteria in ASEAN countries’ during ICOH 2015
Congress.
The Joint Congress of the African Regional Association
of Occupational Health (ARAOH) and the South African
Society of Occupational Medicine (SASOM) was held in
Johannesburg, South Africa, 1-3 August 2014 under the
support of the ICOH Working Group on Occupational
Infectious Agents (WGOIA). Most of the 150 congress
delegates and presenters were from South Africa and
other African countries, but also from other continents.
Claudina Nogueira, an ICOH Board member, reports on the
conference.
The 21 st Asian Conference on Occupational Health
(ACOH) was held by hosting University of Occupational
and Environmental Health (UOEH), Japan in conjunction
with 24th Japan-China-Korea Joint Conference in Fukuoka,
Japan, 2-4 September, 2014. ACOH was established in 1954
in Tokyo and the next meeting will be held in Gaoshiung,
Taiwan in 2017. During the Conference, National
Secretary’s meeting was organized and discussed issues on
regional occupational health. Suvi Lehtinen, Vice-President
of ICOH, summarized the meeting results.
Election of new officers and board members
This issue contains the candidates for ICOH officers and
board members who will serve from 2015 to 2018. The
President and Secretary General will be automatically
elected because there are no competing candidates.
Two Vice Presidents will be elected among 3 candidates.
Board members will also be selected by voting because only
16 out of the 25 candidates can be elected. The ballot paper
will be sent to active members by postal mail from ICOH
Secretariat office in Italy. Only a vote using the ballot paper
sent by post mail is valid. The result will be announced
on Wednesday during the ICOH Congress 2015 in Seoul,
Korea. The voting rate is usually low. It was approximately
30% in the last election. Active participation of members
is necessary to elect the most eligible officers and board
members.
Please do not forget to send your vote using the ballot
paper to the ICOH Secretariat on time.
Ready for ICOH 2015 Congress
The preparation of ICOH 2015 Congress in Seoul is going
smoothly. As of November 2014, 114 special sessions
are being proposed and 65 oral sessions are fixed. There
are 1,135 abstracts from 920 applicants for oral or poster
presentation. There will be approximately 2,000 abstracts
including ones submitted for special sessions and parallel
conferences.

Results from an Online Survey on
Emergency Management in the Workplace
Many occupational practitioners have to face emergencies in
the occupational setting, from life-threatening emergencies
to urgent care, especially when they work in large facilities
far from urban zone and regular emergency medical
system. Furthermore, workplace emergencies tend to
have singularities that typical emergency teams are not
familiar with (e.g. disaster medicine, first response, etc.).
However, neither networks nor federations on emergency
care, management, or response in the workplace exist at an
international level. Indeed, the knowledge of emergency
health care at workplace relied upon only scarce nationwide
guidelines on specific aspects (cardiac arrest, first aid
implementation) in some countries.
In the context of a proposal of a new working group
on this topic after the symposium (organized in 2012 in the
previous International Commission on Occupational Health
(ICOH) Congress), we decided to send a short online-survey
focused on emergency care to each country represented by
the National Secretaries of our ICOH. An online survey
was sent via email to the 51 National Secretaries (one per
country) and to the 7 members of the ECOH working group,
between September 2013 and January 2014, which included
12 questions covering their country/continent and their
emergency procedures, equipment, and teams available.
After acceptance by the ICOH Board, an email was sent
with two reminders.
We obtained 35 reports from as many countries with
28 being from the National Secretaries, 6 being from the
working group, and the data of the remaining country being
reported by another member of ICOH. The main results of
multiple choice questions are shown in Table 1. Differences
between equipment, teams, training and procedures were
found, depending on the regulations, emergency response
systems, size of the companies, occupational hazards, and
different types of persons involved (Figure 1). Improvement
of emergency management was considered as a “top” or
“high” priority in 45.7% of answers (Figure 2). The opinions
of the reported priorities are presented in Figure 3.
Despite limitations based upon the sampling methodology
that we used, this simple survey gave us a representative
picture of the heterogeneity around the world in the
management of workplace emergencies, and the importance
of proposing a new Scientific Committee on this major topic
and improving networking of ICOH members interested in
this field.
(Everyone who is interested may join us by contacting us).

We would like to thank all of the National Secretaries of
the International Commission on Occupational Health

members of its Board for permitting us to conduct this
important survey.

New Method for Disability Evaluation
Currently, it is difficult to identify whether interventions
to improve the work functioning of workers with health
problems are effective. Researchers regularly evaluate the
effectiveness of interventions on single aspects of ‘work
functioning’. However, ‘work-functioning’ is a multi-facet
concept. Interventions may have conflicting effects on
various domains of work functioning; high productivity may
for instance require high personal effort.
When addressing and measuring the work functioning
of health-impaired workers, researchers and practitioners
should not only record the central indicators of the concept
work functioning, but also take into account the relative
importance of its different indicators. This insight, resulting
from a 2-year study conducted by the Coronel Institute
of Occupational Health, a department of the Academic
Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam, led to a
new and improved method for the measurement of the work
functioning of health-impaired workers.
The measurement method captures the central indicators
of the concept work functioning, namely quality and quantity
of work as well as recovery from work and capacity to meet
physical and psychological work demands, and takes into
account, via a weighting procedure, the relative importance
of these different indicators. A subsequent validation study
showed that the measurement method has good convergent,
8
fair divergent, and good discriminative, construct validity.
The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and
Development funded the research. The measurement method
has value for researchers and practitioners. By recording
and monitoring the work functioning of health-impaired
workers, health professionals and organizations can offer
timely support to those health-impaired workers who
struggle to meet their work demands. Further, the newly
developed measurement method enables researchers to test
whether their interventions actually help health-impaired
workers in functioning at work.
Researchers and practitioners interested in the method
and a free ‘easy-to-use’ digital tool for adequately measuring
the work functioning of health-impaired workers are invited
to contact Dr. Karen Nieuwenhuijsen (K.Nieuwenhuijsen@
amc.nl) of the Coronel Institute of Occupational Health. A
publication describing the measurement method is forthcoming in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental
Medicine.

ICOH and WGOIA representation at the
Joint Congress of ARAOH-SASOM
The Joint Congress of the African Regional Association
of Occupational Health (ARAOH) and the South African
Society of Occupational Medicine (SASOM) was held in
Johannesburg, South Africa, 1-3 August 2014. Most of the
150 congress delegates and presenters were from South
Africa and other African countries (e.g. Senegal, Nigeria,
Zimbabwe, Benin, Uganda, Cameroon, Botswana, Namibia)
and there were also participants from the USA, Italy,
Hungary and Japan.
The ICOH Working Group on Occupational Infectious
Agents (WGOIA) contributed to the scientific programme
of the congress by organising an ICOH track, and inviting
ICOH affiliated occupational health professionals to make
presentations:
(1) Keynote address of the ICOH track
he keynote address of the ICOH track was given by
T
the President of ICOH, Dr. Kazutaka Kogi (Japan),
who graciously accepted the invitation to present on
a topic very relevant to occupational health in Africa.
“Promoting good occupational health practice in smallscale workplaces: experiences from international
networking” focussed on the primary prevention of
work-related risks in small-scale workplaces using
participatory steps which build on local good practice
and make use of locally adapted tools.
(2) Presentation on health care workers and biohazards
I n June 2014, WGOIA member Prof. Stefano Porru
(Italy) finalised the development of a referenced,
evidence-based guidance document on clinical best
practice for health care workers, titled “Risk assessment,
health surveillance and fitness for work in health care
workers exposed to infectious agents”, with input and
endorsement from the members of the WGOIA.
10
he guidance document was officially launched at
T
the ARAOH / SASOM Congress in the form of a
complimentary copy handed out to congress participants,
following the presentation on the document, given by
Prof. Porru. His presentation titled “Health care workers
and biohazards: scientific evidence and occupational
health practice”, detailed the objectives of the guidance
document, which are to cover occupational health
practices and provide evidence-based recommendations
for health care workers in terms of risk assessment,
health surveillance, immunisation and fitness for work.
he guidance document will be offered to the WGOIA
T
members for adaptation and use by their respective
national occupational medicine associations, and
will be shared with the ICOH National Secretaries,
for adaptation and use in their respective countries.
Additionally, the guidance document has been made
available in electronic format in the public domain,

ASEAN Diagnostic Criteria on Occupational
Diseases
the agreement in the first meeting between representatives
of each country on who were the top persons in policy on
occupational health, the format of the diseases criteria,
the most common occupational diseases occurring in each
country and the occupational diseases that each country
would cover and send back to each country for correction
and acceptance.
Ten ASEAN countries were in Bankok on 8 July 2014:
Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia,
Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam
committed to implementing the ‘ASEAN Diagnostic Criteria
on Occupational Diseases’. The importance of these criteria
is that these ASEAN countries will unite as one ASEAN
community by economic, security and sociocultural in 2015,
their workers will work freely in each country and must
have the same occupational health standard.
These criteria will help the workers to have the same
occupational diseases diagnosis in ASEAN countries and
will have the same compensation and prevention. The
statistics of occupational diseases will be registered with
accuracy. The result of the meeting on the 8th of July was
12
The first group of ASEAN Diagnostic Criteria on
Occupational Disease that will be done were occupational
hearing loss, occupational dermatitis, heat stress, asthma
and silicosis. The meeting had also set up the International
committee for ASEAN Diagnostic Criteria on Occupational
Diseases. The meeting was sponsored by Nopparat
Rajathanee Hospital, department of medical service Ministry
of Public Health and the association of occupational and
environmental disease of Thailand, while China and Japan
participated as observers in the meeting. Thailand had

Announcement of Upcoming International
Conferences
25-26 February 2015 - Catholic University of the
Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy
Symposium on the health protection of the Nanomaterial
Workers
Organized by: ICOH Scientific Committee Nanomaterial
Workers’ Health
To pics: Workers worldwide are manufacturing and using
nanomaterials. However, it is still relatively early in the natural
history of nanotechnology. There are concerns that some
nanomaterials may present health hazards to workers but there
is great uncertainty about the nature and extent of the hazards.
Consequently, it is necessary to take precautions to protect
workers until more information on hazards and exposures is
developed. Since nanotechnology is globally being applied,
it is important to assess the extent to which workers are being
protected from its potential hazards. The Scientific Committee on
Nanomaterial Workers’ Health of ICOH is planning a symposium
to develop an international survey on use of precautionary
guidance to protect nanomaterial workers. The objective of the
symposium is to address the extent to which there is nanomaterial
production and use, the prevalence of controls in workplaces,
and the type of guidance that has been issued. The main focus
of the symposium will be the adaptation of an existing draft
national survey to assess precautionary guidance worldwide, and
discussion of how best to implement it.

Welcome Message from President of KOSHA
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 31st International Congress
on Occupational Health (ICOH Congress 2015) to be held in
Seoul, Republic of Korea from 31 May to 5 June 2015.
An organizer of the ICOH Congress 2015, Korea Occupational
Safety & Health Agency (KOSHA) is cooperating internationally
in order to disseminate a global prevention culture as well as to
implement “Seoul Declaration” adopted in the 18th World Congress
on Safety & Health at Work. Along with these efforts, KOSHA is
doing its utmost so that the ICOH Congress 2015 can serve as the
venue to bring harmony by bridging the gap of global occupational
safety and health between developed and developing countries.
In addition, the ICOH Congress will see greater success by
holding the concurrent events such as the 10th Global Network
Meeting of the WHO Collaborating Centers, the 30th Annual
Conference of Asia Pacific Occupational Safety & Health
Organization, and the 25th Korea-China-Japan Joint Conference on
Occupational Health.
Once again, I would like to ask you to have interest and
participate in the ICOH Congress 2015 to make the Congress more
productive and successful.
In this regard, the ICOH Congress 2015 will be held under the
motto Global Harmony for Occupational Health: Bridge the world,
which will be realized by active participation and cooperation of
global occupational health professionals and leaders.
The Congress organizer will spare no efforts to provide the
best place where occupational health experts can present their
research performance they have made so far. I believe that the
experts will contribute to advancing occupational health in the
world by exchanging and discussing research, technology and
knowledge on occupational health.

Résumé en français
Message du Président
Chers collègues de la CIST,
Le cycle de trois ans des travaux de
la CIST est entièrement adapté aux
modèles de nos activités conjointes de
planification et de développement. Nous
avons commencé de nouveaux plans et
de nouvelles initiatives de recherche et de
pratique de la santé au travail peu après
le Congrès de Cancún. Avec des idées
renouvelées, nous avons constaté des
résultats interdépendants comme rapporté
à la réunion à mi-parcours qui a eu lieu
cette année. Reflétant ces progrès, nous
nous préparons pour le Congrès de Séoul
2015 avec la pleine participation de nos
comités scientifiques et de nos secrétariats
nationaux/régionaux. Nous espérons en
savoir plus sur les grandes avancées dans
ce rendez-vous triennal.
Les présidents et les secrétaires des
comités scientifiques que j’ai rencontré
pendant et après la réunion à mi-parcours
ainsi que les secrétaires nationaux qui
nous ont rejoint pour les conférences
régionales auxquelles j’ai assisté étaient
tous enthousiastes quant à la promotion
de notre travail pour la santé de tous les
travailleurs. J’ai pu confirmer des avancées
importantes concernant la promotion des
recherches dynamiques et des principes
éthiques ainsi qu’une expansion efficace
des services fondamentaux de la santé
au travail. En collaboration avec nos
partenaires internationaux, les plans et les
résultats de trois années ont vraiment des
effets positifs.
Rôles de la collaboration
internationale
L’accent principal de notre travail à la
CIST est placé sur la promotion d’une base
de connaissances et le développement de la
santé au travail grâce à cette collaboration
internationale, comme indiqué dans notre
Constitution. Les progrès sont visibles
dans les résultats des conférences des
comités scientifiques et de nos déclarations
et documents d’orientation.
Un bon exemple de notre rôle
de leadership a été constaté lors du
Symposium sur le Réseau de connaissances
en santé au travail, organisé conjointement
par la CIST et de l’ISSA (Association
internationale de la sécurité sociale) au
20ème Congrès mondial sur la sécurité et
la santé au travail, tenu en août dernier à
Francfort par l’ILO et l’ISSA. Le président
du symposium, Jorma Rantanen a signalé
que les réseaux en cours dans la santé au
travail, auquel la CIST a participé pour la
plupart, ont activement contribué à relever
de nouveaux défis et de combler les lacunes
dans le soutien à tous les travailleurs. Ces
rôles de liaison ont largement contribué à
l’accélération des actions de prévention des
risques et de services axés sur les besoins
émergents des lieux de travail dans des
situations difficiles.
Nous soutenons fermement ces rôles
catalytiques des réseaux de connaissances.
Il est encourageant de constater que les
résultats de nos activités contribuent à
développer des actions au lieu de travail
dans des contextes différents.
Le Congrès de la CIST 2014 tenant
sur l’organisation du travail et les facteurs
psychosociaux, tenu à Adelaide en
septembre dernier, a été une occasion
importante de donner des conseils sur
les interventions au lieu de travail pour
la gestion des risques psychosociaux et
promouvoir la santé et le bien-être des
travailleurs dans des situations de travail
diversifiées. Au centre de la discussion se
portait le cadre d’action pour la conception
de l’emploi face à ces risques. Le cadre
éxigé est pertinent pour les interventions
visant à prévenir les risques à multiples
facettes liés au travail et donc son efficacité
doit être évaluée dans le cadre de la
pratique de la santé au travail de tous les
jours dans des situations de travail diverses.
Comme ce débat l’a montré, l’attention
est portée sur la nécessité de développer
des compétences pour les interventions
pratiques et réalisables dans des situations
locales.
La déclaration d’Helsinki et son
suivi
Un autre exemple frappant a été vu
à la Conférence internationale sur
la surveillance des maladies liées à
l’amiante de 2014, tenue à Helsinki avec
la collaboration du Groupe de travail de
la CIST sur l’application de la stratégie
mondiale de la santé au travail avec une
référence particulière à l’interdiction
mondiale de l’amiante. La conférence
portrait sur la mise à jour des critères
d’Helsinki pour la détection, le diagnostic
et l’attribution des maladies liées à
l’amiante. La Déclaration d’Helsinki sur
la gestion et l’élimination des maladies
liées à l’amiante (ARDs) adoptée par
la Conférence confirme ainsi que la
prévention primaire est le seul moyen
efficace pour éliminer les ARDs. Cela
demande des politiques, des règlements
et des pratiques pour la prévention des
risques et pour la protection efficace
des travailleurs dans l’élimination et le
traitement des déchets de l’amiante des
structures existantes. La Déclaration
souligne la collaboration de toutes
les communautés scientifiques et
professionnelles, guidé par l’OMS, l’ILO
December 2014
33
et la CIST. Tout cela est dans la lignée de la
Déclaration de la CIST 2013: Interdiction
mondiale de l’amiante et l’élimination des
maladies liées à l’amiante.
Les directives de la Déclaration sont
essentielles pour prévenir l’épidémie des
ARDs afin qu’elles ne soient pas répétées
chez les travailleurs et les communautés
dans le monde en développement. Des
efforts conjoints doivent être déployés à
tous les niveaux de prévention, y compris
des mesures réglementaires et pratiques
pour la protection des travailleurs et la
mise en œuvre de l’interdiction. Comme
le souligne la Déclaration de la CIST,
nous devons continuer à conjuguer
nos efforts sur la base de compétences
professionnelles nécessaires pour appuyer
les efforts nationaux afin d’éliminer les
ARDs.
Ce besoin de suivi conjoint de la
Déclaration d’Helsinki et de la Déclaration
de la CIST devrait être intégré dans nos
plans d’action dans cette période triennale
et au-delà. Bien que nous fassions des
progrès constants dans ce domaine par
nos cycles de trois ans, nous avons besoin
d’élaborer des mesures préventives
globales qui peuvent couvrir tous les lieux
de travail.
Guidé par Bernardino Ramazzini
Un événement spécial: Bernardino
Ramazzini, l’anniversaire des 300 ans
de sa mort a eu lieu en octobre dernier
à l’Aula Magna de l’Université de
Padoue en Italie, co-organisé par la
CIST et la société italienne de médecine
et de l’hygiène du travail. Cette année
marque le trios-centenaire de la mort de
Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714) qui
était un professeur de médecine pratique
à l’Université de Padova depuis 1700.
34
C’est l’auteur de l’œuvre monumentale
«Morbis Artificum Diatriba» (maladies des
travailleurs), une étape importante pour la
prévention des maladies professionnelles
depuis plus de trois siècles. Il décrit
des risques pour la santé des produits
chimiques, des mouvements répétitifs ou
violents, des postures impaires et d’autres
risques liés au travail rencontrés par les
travailleurs dans 52 professions. Il propose
que les médecins prolongent la liste des
questions qu’ils posent leurs patients en
ajoutant la question «Quelle est votre
profession?»
Son travail est traduit en plusieurs
langues et son héritage culturel sert
aujourd’hui comme un guide pratique
de premier plan pour la pratique de la
santé au travail. Nous réalisons que le
développement de trois cents dans notre
profession a été évolué avec un spectre
continu de la pratique reflétant la pensée
stratégique. Cela est étroitement lié aux
principes éthiques de notre conduite. Dans
notre effort de collaboration cyclique, nous
avons besoin de continuer à établir un
cadre commun d’apprentissage d’action de
ce spectre continu.
Dans le programme scientifique du
Congrès de Séoul 2015, nous organisons
un forum mondial sur l’avenir de la santé
au travail. Nous espérons apporter des
réponses aux questions clés sur nos défis
des réunions stratégiques sur des conditions
de travail décentes, des conditions propices
à la capacité de travail et de la santé
au travail ainsi que de s’interroger sur
comment les organismes de recherche et
d’experts apportent un soutien à ces efforts.
Le forum devrait élucider les orientations
futures de nos activités dans la recherche,
la formation et les services de réseau des
connaissances, basés sur nos traditions et
de nos idées renouvelés.
Je me réjouis de vous voir tous au
Congrès de la CIST 2015 à Séoul.

De L’éditeur
Contenus de cette publication
Les professionnels de la santé au travail
peuvent faire face à des soins ou des
traitements d’urgence au travail. Il y
aura un protocole pour faire face à ce
genre de condition pour chaque pays.
Cependant, il n’y a pas d’informations au
niveau international sur cette question.
Dr. Alexis Descatha, secrétaire nationale
en France, a rendu des sondages en ligne
à 51 secrétaires nationaux de la CIST et
aux membres du groupe de travail pour les
soins d’urgence. Le résultat de l’enquête
a été rapporté et sera utilisé pour le
développement ultérieur de la coopération
internationale sur les soins d’urgence.
Il est important de diagnostiquer les
maladies professionnelles non seulement
d’indemnisation mais aussi la prévention.
La première étape de diagnostic est de
fixer les critères. Chaque pays a ses
propres critères de diagnostic sur les
maladies professionnelles. Toutefois,
le stade de développement diffère d’un
pays à l’autre à cause du développement
économique ou d’autres facteurs. Dix pays
d’Asie du sud-est s’uniront pour former la
Communauté ASEAN pour l’économie,
la sécurité et la culture d’ici l’an 2015. Ils
devront élaborer les critères de diagnostic
pour les pays de l’ASEAN parce que les
travailleurs voyageront librement dans les
régions unies. Les représentants de dix
pays se sont réunis à Singapour les 7-9
Juillet 2014 et sont entrés en accord pour le
développement de critères de diagnostic de
maladie professionnelle dans les pays de
l’ASEAN. Dr Adul Bandhukul, secrétaire
national en Thaïlande, a rendu le rapport
du résultat de la réunion et ils organiseront
également une session spéciale consacrée
au «développement des critères de
diagnostic dans les pays de l’ASEAN»
pendant le Congrès de la CIST 2015.
Le congrès conjoint de l’Association
régionale africaine de la santé au travail
(ARAOH) et la société sud-africaine de la
médecine du travail (SASOM) a eu lieu à
Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud du 1 au
3 août 2014 avec le soutien du groupe de
travail de la CIST sur les agents infectieux
au travail (WGOIA). La plupart des 150
délégués du congrès et les présentateurs
étaient d’Afrique du Sud et d’autres pays
africains, mais aussi d’autres continents.
Claudina Nogueira, un même du conseil
de la CIST, a rapporté le résultat de la
conférence.
La 21ème conférence asiatique
sur la santé au travail (ACOH) a eu
lieu en accueillant l’université de santé
professionnelle et environnementale
(UOEH) du Japon, en collaboration avec
24ème conférence conjointe Chine-JaponCorée à Fukuoka, au Japon, du 2 au 4
septembre 2014. ACOH a été créé en 1954
à Tokyo et la prochaine réunion aura lieu
à Gaoshiung, Taïwan en 2017. Lors de
la conférence, la réunion des secrétaires
nationaux a été organisé et la discussion
a porté sur les questions sur la santé
professionnelle régionale. Suvi Lehtinen,
vice-président de la CIST, a résumé les
résultats de la réunion.
Election des nouveaux officiers
et membres du conseil
Cette édition présente les candidats pour
les officiers et les membres du conseil de
la CIST qui serviront de 2015 à 2018. Le
président et le secrétaire général seront
élus automatiquement car il n’y a pas de
candidats en lice.
Deux vice-présidents seront choisis
par un vote parmi les trois candidats. Les
membres du Conseil seront également
sélectionnés par un vote du fait que
seulement 16 des 25 candidats peuvent
être élu. Le bulletin de vote sera envoyé
aux membres actifs par courrier postal du
bureau Secrétariat CIST en Italie. Seul
un vote fait au moyen du bulletin de vote
envoyé par la poste est valide. Le résultat
sera annoncé mercredi lors du Congrès de
la CIST 2015 à Séoul, en Corée. Le taux
de participation au vote est généralement
faible. Il était d’environ 30% à la dernière
élection. La participation active des
membres est nécessaire pour élire les
officiers et les membres du conseil les plus
éligibles.
Veuillez ne pas oublier d’envoyer
votre vote au moyen du bulletin de vote au
Secrétariat de la CIST à temps.
Prêt pour le Congrès de la CIST
2015
La préparation du Congrès de la CIST
2015 à Séoul se déroule sans problème. En
Novembre 2014, 115 sessions spéciales
seront proposées et 65 sessions orales
seront organisées. Il y a eu 1135 résumés
de 920 candidats pour une présentation
orale ou de poster, et environ 2000 résumés
seront présents, y compris ceux soumis à
des sessions spéciales et aux conférences
parallèles.
Le Comité d’organisation a terminé
le processus d’invitation pour les 10
conférenciers des séances plénières et les
33 intervenants semi-plénières, dont la liste
est maintenant disponible sur le site web.
La séance plénière sera réparti selon les
thèmes quotidiens: 1er jour – Un milieu
de travail décent: un environnement social
et psychologique; 2ème jour – La culture
d’égalité et de la sécurité; 3ème jour – La
gestion de la charge mondiale des risques
au travail; 4ème jour – Angle mort et
nouveaux risqué émergents; et 5ème jour
– Renouveau des anciens problèmes. Les
séances semi-plénières ont également été
réparties chaque jour, selon les thèmes
quotidiens.
Un nouveau type de séance semiplénière aura lieu en tant que forum
politique le mardi (2ème jour), ce qui
donnera aux participants des perspectives
mondiales de la santé et la sécurité au
travail par le biais des représentants
des organisations internationales et des
hauts responsables gouvernementaux de
chaque continent. Le forum des directeurs
aura lieu le mardi et le jeudi après-midi,
qui sera présenté par les directeurs des
instituts nationaux ou publics de la santé
et la sécurité au travail. Il y aura deux
conférences internationales parallèles
durant le congrès de la 30ème conférence
annuelle APOSHO (Organisation de la
santé et de la sécurité au travail d’Asie
Pacifique) et de la 25ème conférence
conjointe KJC (Corée-Japon-Chine), où les
participants du Congrès de la CIST et des
conférences parallèles peuvent participer
et profiter de toutes les sessions des
conférences. Cela aidera certainement dans
élargissement de la vision des participants
pour la tendance mondiale sur la santé et la
sécurité au travail.
La date limite pour les pré-inscriptions
December 2014

Conseil de la CIST
Message de bienvenue du
Président de KOSHA
C’est un grand plaisir de vous inviter à la
31ème Congrès international sur la santé
au travail (Congrès de la CIST 2015) qui
se tiendra à Séoul, en Corée du Sud du 31
mai au 5 juin 2015.
Un organisateur du Congrès de la
CIST 2015, l’Agence Coréenne de la
sécurité et de la santé au travail (KOSHA),
collabore à l’échelle internationale dans
le but de diffuser une culture mondiale de
prévention ainsi que de mettre en œuvre la
«Déclaration de Séoul», adoptée au 18ème
Congrès mondial sur la sécurité et la santé
au travail. Parallèlement à ces efforts,
KOSHA fait tout son possible pour que
le Congrès de la CIST 2015 serve de lieu
qui va apporter une harmonie en comblant
le fossé quant à la sécurité au travail et à
la santé entre les pays développés et en
développement.
À cet égard, le Congrès de la CIST
2015 se tiendra sous le thème de l’harmonie
globale de la santé au travail: rapprocher le
monde, qui sera réalisé par la participation
active et la coopération des professionnels
de la santé au travail et des dirigeants
mondiaux.
L’organisateur du Congrès fera tous
ses efforts pour fournir l’endroit idéal où
les experts de la santé au travail pourront
présenter le résultat des recherches qu’ils
ont réalisées. Je pense que les experts vont
contribuer à faire progresser la santé dans
le monde en échangeant et en discutant les
sujets de recherche, de technologie et des
connaissances sur la santé au travail.
De plus, le Congrès de la CIST verra
plus de succès de par l’organisation des
événements simultanés tels que la 10ème
réunion du réseau mondial des centres
collaborateurs de l’OMS, la 30ème
Conférence annuelle de l’Asie-Pacifique
sur la sécurité et la santé au travail, et
la 25ème Conférence commune CoréeChine-Japon sur la santé au travail.
Une fois de plus, je voudrais vous
demander de vous pencher et participer au
Congrès de la CIST 2015 afin d’en faire un
Congrès plus productif et réussi.
