The most relevant and current safety and
health issues were discussed during the
two days of the seminar. The blocks dis-
cussed focused on updating various tech-
nical and medical aspects, particularly in
respect to biological hazards, non-ionising
radiation, and an interesting presentation

sues related to mobility, road safety and tra-
ffic accidents, predictive and personalised
medicine, and healthy habits.

ce with the speech by Carlos Sáez de Rus,
director of Safety, Health, and Welfare at
Work, with the title “Opportunities for safety
and health at work in times of crisis” where
he discussed, based on the current politi-
cal, social, economic, and job situation, the
need to focus company’s actions towards
the healthy company concept which, be-
sides improving the quality of life of those
working at the company is vital for their
productivity, competitiveness, and sustai-
nability.
No company
can be better or
worse than the people
who comprise it

the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with
a world that no longer exists
