s-Horst Konkolewsky, valued the importance of bringing together different visions from different parts of the world to achieve a holistic vision on OSH and well-being. “We need a Vision Zero mentality and put the person at the center. “We cannot divide the person based on the aspects of their life but rather see them as a complete and unique individual.” Furthermore, Konkolewsky stressed, “life has changed dramatically after the pandemic and the changes are happening at a dizzying pace. We have to contribute to a more sustainable and healthy world.”

The president of FIORP recalled the importance of SST being, since last year, a fundamental right of people and requested a minute of silence for all those present in commemoration of all the people who lost their lives for work reasons during the last year.
