Presentation
For the International ORP Foundation, 2017 has been a year of great activity and success. More than a thousand participants at the ORP International Congress in Buenos Aires and more than 1,500 participants at the pre-congress events.
The figures show that the International ORP Foundation has fulfilled its main objective: to make those responsible for occupational risk prevention in companies aware of innovations in this area, to put them in contact with researchers and scientists working to find practical solutions to the current and future needs of their organisations and to contribute to the establishment of a culture of prevention.
More than 300 speakers have presented their work at the events organised.
This year, the working theme of our dissemination and promotion of scientific research was “smart prevention in the digital age”.
Intelligent prevention based on data, but above all on the formulation of the right question and the need for training and innovation to improve business management.
The Foundation aims to facilitate access to scientific advances for all organisations as much as possible, especially in Spain, Europe and Latin America.
We believe that we have come a long way, but that the road ahead is still long because, as Professor Pedro R. Mondelo said at the opening of the International ORPConference, “we will never catch up with the new risks, but we must work to get closer and closer”. To continue in this race, it is necessary to count on everyone’s passion and for our community to continue to grow.
Hence the need to recognise and value the collaboration of universities around the world, led by the CERpIE of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the companies that make up our business committee; as well as the collaborating companies in each of the activities developed by the ORP International Foundation for their commitment.
For believing and working with us so that occupational risk prevention ceases to be a legal and conceptual obligation and becomes what it should be: an essential work philosophy in business management. This report gathers the activities carried out by the ORP International Foundation throughout 2017 and aims to be a basic element in the dissemination of the work carried out among all of us.
