Congress venue
SQUARE Brussels
Rue du Musée 8
B-1000 BRUSSELS - BELGIUM
http://www.square-brussels.eu
SQUARE is located in the historical centre of Brussels, a 5 minutes walking distance from the famous Grand Place. The best hotels are within easy walking distance.
Date
23rd until 25th November 2009
Subjects
Two major subjects will be discussed: ageing and globalisation, both as related to safety and health in the construction industry.
The issue will be treated at 3 levels: the industry, the company and the individual. Internationally renowned keynote speakers will present both subjects, which will then be explored in depth during workshops. During a roundtable discussion, a synthesis will be developed and thus lead to the “Brussels Declaration”.
Who should attend?
We expect many persons to attend the symposium, amongst whom will be the top of the construction industry’s management and trade unions from all over the world, executives from the construction industry, organizations for the prevention of industrial accidents and occupational diseases, representatives from the engineering and training branches, leading building contractors, clients, architects and engineers, prevention experts, company doctors, ergonomists, labour inspectors, industrial accident insurers, academics…
The symposium offers a high-quality, extensive program, ensuring maximum interactivity between participants and speakers. We also invite all distributors and manufacturers of safety and health products and services for the construction industry to participate as exhibitors. (see exhibition page)
Thus, an interesting environment will be created to take care of your network.
All participants will receive a certificate of participation.
