There is a growing international consensus that efforts to develop a global prevention culture should be reinforced in order to reduce the unacceptably high number of work accidents and occupational diseases worldwide. It is at the same time recognized that business performance is highly depending on a healthy and motivated workforce.
The ISSA has on this background developed a new prevention concept, called “Vision Zero”, which is based on the belief that all accidents and diseases at work can be prevented. The ISSA’s Vision Zero approach is flexible and can be adjusted to any workplace, company or industry.
