Report about ICOH Scientific Committees April 2012 - November 2013

Bonnie Rogers, Vice President ICOH

December 12, 2013

Status of the Scientific Committees:

There are 35 active Scientific Committees.

Activities of the Scientific Committees:

The Scientific Committees provide the scientific support for ICOH and all members are grateful for all their hard work and efforts on behalf of ICOH. Thirty-two of the active Scientific Committees have provided Mid-Term reports (attached). Many of the Scientific Committees have contributed suggestions for the scientific content of ICOH 2015 by agreeing to develop special sessions and participating in oral sessions. Preliminary lists of Special Sessions and Oral Paper Sessions for ICOH 2015 are provided as Attachments 1 and 2. Additionally, during this reporting period most Scientific Committees have organized and numerous conferences-nearly 60, published articles proceedings etc., or held meetings during this period. Many Scientific Committees have jointly co-sponsored conferences and other activities with other Scientific Committees or organizations as shown in Attachment 3. The number of publications including scientific proceedings for SCs was approximately 50. Scientific Committee Webspace and Virtual Office:

The ICOH Secretariat and Web staff have developed and maintained the Virtual Office for Scientific Committees at http://www.icohweb.org/scvo/index.asp that provides communications to the Scientific Committee Chairs and Secretaries and provides forms for required activities.

Appreciation is expressed to the ICOH Secretariat and Web staff who support the ICOH website. They provide links and Scientific Committee information on a webspace for each Scientific Committee at http://www.icohweb.org/committees/ . Scientific Committees are encouraged to request posting of information in the Scientific Committee web space by contacting the ICOH Secretariat at icoh@inail .

Revision of Forms and Guidelines for Scientific Committees

All Forms for submitting SC reports were updated as needed and sent to all Scientific committees and placed on the ICOH website for easy access. Guidelines for Scientific Committees were developed and approved in 2009, updated for clarity and made available to all Scientific Committees for use. The objective is to have clear guidance for the Scientific Committees and for newly appointed Chairs and Secretaries. Any comments you have are welcome.

PART II Midterm Report: SC Products and Collaborations April 2012 - October 2013 Publications, Guidelines*, Position Papers*, etc

SCAP paper for Cancun - March 2012

Researcb Objective

To establish whether there is a correlation between workplace occupational health interventions and reductions in injury accidents.

Methodology

An invitation was issued to members to submit research papers which they had prepared which attempted to identify and evaluate whether a link existed between interventions aimed at improving

occupational health of employees and the frequency with which physical injuries occurred. Six

4 16

papers were submitted and formed the basis of a presentation given at a SCAP meeting in Cancun in March 2012, by Mr Brian Nimick.

Results

The following papers were received;

• Data on work accidents in the Greek Postal Organisation - Styliani, Emmanuel

• The value of rude health - LSE/Royal Mail Group

• Evaluation for the increased accident risk from workplace noise - Finnish Institute of

Occupational Health

• Research project concerning the link between health interventions and safety performanceProf Stefano Porru, University of Brescia

• An effectiveness evaluation of a multifaceted preventive intervention on occupational injuries in foundries - Porru, Calza, Arici

• Outcomes of the introduction ofa standardised fitness-for-duty evaluation of commercial truck drivers on the incidence of lower back pain and workers compensations costsKonstantin Berestnev

Styliani, Emmanuel had carried out two studies, one addressing the topic of work-road accidents (2002) and the second (2008) addressing workplace injuries. These did not directly address the link between occupational health interventions and reduction in physical accidents but this was to be

addressed in a subsequent study by the University of Peloponnese and University of Athens in 2012.

In 2008 a study had been carried out by Dr Su Wang at the Royal Mail Groups which established a

business case between occupational health intervention and sickness absence. The reduction in sickness absence was 7%, represent an effective increase of3,600 employees over the period of the study. This study identified significant cost savings for the organisation and was externally

validated by the London School of Economics (Marsden,D & Moricone, S - 2008). The same

authors identified further evidence supporting the link in a subsequent paper, 2009.

The study by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health looked at the effect of hearing impairment on accident frequencies. This demonstrated a need for a signal to noise ratio of>25dB

to ensure that workers are able to recognise warnings. It had been demonstrated that a combination of impaired hearing and noise was a factor in a shipyard 43% of injuries accidents.

The study of occupational injuries in foundries by Porru, Calza & Arici was important because it covered an extended time period, 13 years, and the data had been subject to robust statistical

analysis. The raw data showed a decrease in injuries following occupational health interventions and time series analysis showed a long term decreasing trend for incidence, frequency and severity rates. The study also evaluated the challenges and limitations of the problems and proposed possible solutions.

5 17

The study into the fitness for work of US truck drivers addressed a group of employees with the highest median number of days away from work of any occupational group. It was found that 62% of the sickness absence was due to injuries to the back. The average workers compensation cost for this type of injury had shown a decrease from $301,066 to $238,450 between the periods 1999 2002 and 2003 - 2006. This decrease corresponded with the period of the fitness for duty tests. It was noted that apart from their driving, duties included activities such as loading and coupling trailers, which could also cause back injuries. The study was only descriptive and recommended an analytic study to eliminate factors such as possible Hawthorne effect.

Discussion

Key points arising from the presentation are:

I. Can the approaches outlined in these by applied in other scenarios? The one used in the LSE/Royal Mail paper could be used in other industries although this was carried out within an organisation with -170,000 employees and a high rate of sickness absence. This gave the researchers a large body of data with which to work. This may be difficult to reproduce in smaller organisations.

2. It was felt that the approached used in the Italian study into foundry workers would be interesting to reproduce in other industries. This was a high risk industry and it was questioned as to whether the results would be as significant in industries which are inherently less risky.

3. It was felt that these studies should be extended to other industries in the future. The tests for statistical significance should be reviewed to check whether those used in the University of Brescia study would be adequate.

The ICOH Scientific Committee on Cardiology in Occupational Health serves a professional network of researchers, occupational health physicians and public health workers throughout the world concerned about the impact of work and work-related factors on cardiovascular health, in particular hypertension and ischemic heart disease (IHD). Linking economic globalization to the changing nature of work and its impact on the risk of CVD, and focusing on research, worksite interventions, and public health, we are organized as an official committee of the International Commission of Occupational Health. Our work focuses on identifYing work-related risk factors for CVD, including both the physical and psychosocial work environment, the interplay of social class, work and health, interventions to reduce the burden of unhealthy jobs, and public policy concerns to foster change in working conditions.

Cooperation with other Scientific Committees: Our sub committee is working closely with the SC "Occupational Medicine" and we plan to hold a joint conference in Bologna, Italy, on 14-16 October 2014 (details below)

Participation and support to WHO - ILO meetings and or pnblications: WHO members have showed interest about the joint-meeting in Bologna 2014, to develop cooperation with our SC in the next future about "basic" occupational services in developing countries. Moreover, members of our SC continued to cooperate with WHO/ILO in a project to establish a leaming repository on Occupational Health.

Cooperation with non-ICOH organizations: (Provide name of non-ICOH organization, proposed conference title, dates, meeting location and role of the SC. Provide relevant details of collaborations other than conferences.)

I) Cochrane Occupational safety and Health Review Group: our SC liaises with the Cochrane OSH RG and stimulates its members to: - evaluate the effectiveness of preventive interventions - participate in systematic reviews - come up with OSH topics for systematic reviews - to use and implement the knowledge available from OSH Cochrane Reviews

2) EU - COST Modernet: some of our members are participating to the activities of a collaborative working group (Modemet) funded by a COST action of the EU. In particular Raymond Agius is currently the Leader of Modemet and Stefano Mattioli is Leader of the Modemet Working Group 1 on "Quality of data". Since the aim of Modemet is to study trends of occupational diseases and new occupational risks - relevant topics for occupational health services - we are promoting collaborations, as well as in the participation of Modemet members to the 2014 Bologna meeting and in the production of a Cochrane review on interventions aimed to reduce the underreporting of occupational diseases.


Our SC has begun to increase the extra-North-European membership, trying to begin to balance the geographical representation.

Planned business meetings, conferences, seminars: (provide title, location, date if possible) The mid-term meeting of our SC will be held during the 'Joint-meeting" with SC "Occupational Medicine" in Bologna on 14th-16th October 2014. The venue will be Palazzo dei Congressi (http://www.bolognacongressi.it/enlhome/). The duration of the conference is planned to be two days (+ welcome meeting in the evening before). The theme is proposed to be workers' health surveillance with different sub themes, such as the quality of health surveillance, the effectiveness of basic occupational health services, the tracing of new occupational health risks and/or interventions to tackle the underreporting of occupational diseases. Other themes that were discussed include evaluation of preventive interventions, and conclusions from the COST Modernet project. It is also proposed to make contact with the Cochrane Occupational Health Review Group (Jos Verbeek) about a session on Cochrane reviews in OHS


See above

As above Planued collaborative Activities with other (Non-ICOH) Organizations: (Provide Conference title, dates, location and name and role of the SC and each participating organization. Provide relevant details of collaborations other than conferences.)

We are yet working, and we plan to continue to cooperate, together with the Cochrane Occupational safety and health Review group, the European group Modernet (see also above). We planned also to strengthen our collaboration with WHO/ILO on the theme of basic occupational services.



In Seoul 2015, the SC HSREOH members will be available to be speakers, to review abstracts and to organize/chair special sessions or free papers sessions. In particular, our SC will propose at least special sessions on new occupational health services, on quality of OSH reviews and on effectiveness of preventive interventions Finally, the 2015 business meeting of our SC will be held during the ICOH Congress.

We want to nnderstand and share widely the valne and impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improving global occupational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment.


The members of the SC HSREOH have been active in improving the quality of occupational services and of occupational surveillance, also collaborating with colleagues of other SC, as well as SC Occupational Medicine or Work Disability Prevention, or cooperating with WHO/ILO. In that sense, regarding the role of occupational services in improving global occupational health, the activity of our SC was already considered successful.

Moreover, members of the SC developed the field of the evaluation of the effectiveness of preventive OSH interventions, also participating in the activities of the Cochrane Collaboration and obtaining, as a measure of their success, that "Occupational Safety and Health" became from a "Field" a "Review Group" of the Cochrane Collaboration (htlp:llosh.cochrane.orgl). Jos Verbeek is currently the Coordinating Editor and Jani Ruotsalainen is the Managing Editor of this Review Group.

Conference, one bnsiness meeting was organized also. Unfortunately, due to a variety of problems (mainly ecouomic and organizational issues), the local organizing committee has unexpectedly cancelled the event and, then, it has moved the conference to April 2014. Therefore, only in recent weeks, the organization of the event is again starting. Meanwhile, a new website of the Scientific Committee (http://www.icoh-history.orgl) has been activated and it should foster the communication between members.

PART IV Assessment of Success of SC and Impact on Global Occupational Health

We want to understand and share widely the valne and impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improving global occnpational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment.


The World Health Organisation has declared the decade from 2000-2010 as the bone and joint decade: http://www.boneandjointdecade.orgl. The more than 80 members from 24 countries of the ICOH SC on Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) playa key role in better understanding how work attributes to the onset and aggravation of these disorders and how work-related interventions can be successful in return to work for patients with MSDs. Moreover, members strive to put this topic on

4 63

the research and policy agenda in their countries. The last PREMUS conference in Pusan, Korea was the first to be held in Asia. This shows the increased influence of [COH in Asia, namely the activities of the MSD Sc. Several abstracts have been submitted by new researchers and students, and this demonstrates the vitality of the research on work-related musculoskeletal disorders around the world since 200 I.

Several researchers and practitioners have joined the SC since 20 10, especially colleagues from Africa and South America, showing the spread of the research on work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Focus: ICOH initiated the SC to focus on workers who are the first people in society to be exposed to the potential hazards of nanotechnology.

Aims: 1) Need to learn the extent of implementation of precautionary nanotechnology guidance worldwide, so that in places where there is poor compliance, measures can be taken to increases the awareness, acceptance, and utilization of the guidance; 2) Need to develop and dissemination information on precautionary approaches to protect nanotechnology workers in start-up companies.

Progress: For aim 1 the intent is to build on a survey being developed by NIOSH in the US and then tailor it for other countries; For aim2, a planning meeting for developing the information for startup companies will be held later this year.

SCOHDev's focus of interest is the relation between occupational health and development. The relation between technical and economic development and occupational health should be explored. It should be possible to improve occupational health and safety even in a situation where resources are scarce and unemployment high. Occupational health and safety should be developed and sustained taking into consideration the new threats and challenges of the globalized market economy.

The most important function of the Committee is networking, allowing for contacts between those interested and active in issues of occupational health and development both in developing and industrialized countries, taking into account social and cultural aspects. The activities of SCOHDev and the contents of its communication should be action-oriented rather than research-oriented.

While this guideline document was started in October 20 I 0, it has been subsequently edited by the

current SC chair and secretary with further editorial comment from SC members. It will be

finalized by the end of summer of 2013, and it will soon be submitted as an SC document to ICOH

leadership for approval. It will be the basis for a workshop and a plenary presentation at the Brazil

conference noted above.

Cooperation with other Scientific Committees:

Infonnal review/critique of WGOIA document on occupational infections/infection control in the healthcare environment, Feb - April 2012.

Participation and support to WHO - ILO meetings and or pUblications:

Only as noted above.

Cooperation with non-ICOH organizations:

Collaboration with representatives from WHO and PAHO for the Brazil conference.


Once the guideline document noted above becomes an official ICOH document, the SC will explore means of application, such as formation of an on-site review team made up of members of the SC to aid health care establishments in developing countries with development of health and safety programs for their workers.

PART IV - Assessment of Snccess of SC and Impact on Global Occnpational Healtb

We want to nnderstand and share widely the valne and impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improving global occnpational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment.

Midterm Report: As for impact of our SC prior to the current triennium, ICOH collaboration at meetings, on video-conferencing, and on conference calls has offered enlightenment to SC members as to the issues regarding healthcare workers in other countries. For some, such interaction is reassuring that their own issues are not as imposing as those of other members, and for others, they realize what a daunting task lies ahead of them. However, the latter members now have made contact with members who might be able to help them resolve those issues. Gwen and I have received emails on at least 2 occasions in which we have been able to send resource materials to members in need. As far as we know, the SC has not produced an official document in the recent past, at least the past decade. Such a product will give us a focal point for making future impact on healthcare worker health and safety, particularly if we can apply it to specific sites.

We will propose a detailed construction safety and health program with approximately four sessions.





The Committee remains the only international coordinating forum for construction safety and health research. It complements the rSSA Construction Section which focuses on defining the state of best practices. Research by OHlCr members account for the majority of scientific publications worldwide and become translated into best practices. Over the past 20 years we have seen very significant improvements in safety and health outcomes in this industry.

Organisation ofa mini-symposium at the ICOH conference 2015 in Seoul, Korea (organisation: Michael Nasterlack, Maren Beth-HUbner, Murray Coombs)

Review of abstracts and chairing of oral session on "chemicals" (Murray Coombs, Avi Wiener, Michael Nasterlack)



We want to understand and share widely the value and impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improving global occupational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment. Annual conferences since inception 1972, strong collaboration with ICOH and global chemical health and safety institutions. (Unluckily our 2013 Turkey conference had to be cancelled to civil unrest) Publications from most conferences, active engagement at country, regional and global level by board and Medichem members allows for improved knowledge and health conditions, a synopsis will be compiled for our 50 th anniversary and updated annually.

Midterm Report: Please assess the success of the SC and its influence in improving global occupational health as a result of the work prior to the current Triennium. Give examples where possible. A stabile membership with active annual conference engagement supports a success story for the chemical and related industries (both operationally as physicians in industry and academic publications/advisory), as an industry sector the chemical industry has improved chemical safety and health dramatically over the period of Medichem's existence (stats from many international agencies can bear this out) even though Medichem certainly cannot take sole recognition for this.

The scope of the Committee covers all types of occupational morbidity and diseases, their mechanism, diagnostics, recognition and prevention.

The Committee has the following terms of references: • Promoting research on occupational medicine, occupational diseases and work-related

diseases • Developing evidence based criteria for diagnosis of occupational diseases and developing

guidelines for good diagnostic practice • Initiating research for the identification of work-related diseases and their recognition and

prevention • Collaborating with other Scientific Committees on topics relevant to the mission of the

SCOM

Claudio Colosio has been working with ILO on the new list of occupational diseases. He also participated, on November J 2-14 2012, in the workshop "Occupational Health in Primary Health Care: Interventions and Capacity Building". Claudio will act as the SCOM liaison person with ILO. He is also active in ICD 11, in which occupational diseases will be included. This activity started some years ago and most of the work is done already. They are in the discussion phase now and members of the SCOM will be approached to send comments. The draft ofICD 11 is available online and there is a link through which it is possible to have a look and comment. Claudio circulated the access key to SCOM members (http://apps.who.inticlassifications/icdlllbrowse/f/en), who can provide comments on the planned occupational diseases under ICD 11. It is also proposed that SCOM will provide some field testing of proposed occupational diseases in ICD 11. Finalization ofICD 11 is expected around 2015 and it was thought that this would be an interesting topic for the 2014 Bologna conference and for the 2015 lCOH Congress. If so, funding from ILO and WHO of the mid-term meeting in Bologna might be possible then.


COST Action IS 1 002 Modernet


Plans have been developed to increase the SCOM membership and in particular to increase the geographical representation, especially from developing countries. In the membership list at the end it is indicated which members joined since the last ICOH meeting in Cancun.

The geographical representation has improved, although we still need more participants from Africa, Asia and Australia.

SCOM also plans to establish an Executive Committee to assist with management of SCOM. A procedure will be set-up and discussed during the midterm meeting in Bologna 2014. After that the election will be held to assure that the candidates can be appointed during ICOH 2015.



The mid-term meeting ofSCOM will be held in conjunction with a conference on 14-16 October 2014 in Bologna, being organised jointly with the ICOH SC on Health Services Research and Evaluation.

Planned collaborative Activities with other ICOH Scientific Committees: (Provide Conference title, dates, location and name and role of each sc. Provide relevant details of other collaborations with SCs.)

The mid-term meeting ofSCOM will be held 14-16 October 2014 in Bologna, jointly with the SC on Health Services Research and Evaluation. The duration of the conference is planned to be two days (+ welcome meeting in the evening before). The theme is proposed to be workers' health surveillance with different sub themes, such as the quality of health surveillance, the tracing of new occupational health risks andlor interventions to tackle the underreporting of occupational diseases. Other themes that were discussed include evaluation of preventive interventions, and conclusions from the COST Modemet project. It is also proposed to make contact with the Cochrane Occupational Health Review Group (Jos Verbeek) about a session on Cochrane reviews in OHS.

SCOM had four free paper sessions at ICOH 2012 and we plan to repeat this at ICOH 2015, including providing abstract reviewers from SCOM members. We also plan to have a business meeting at ICOH 2015, as well as at least one special session on methods of occupational disease surveillance.


PART IV - Assessment of Success ofSC and Impact on Global Occupational Health



The members of the SCOM have been active in 1] improving methods to identifY new and emerging occupational diseases (ODs) 2J strengthening the notification systems of ODs in the European Union

Point 1 was the topic of the Congress Tracing New Occupational Diseases, in 2011 in Amsterdam. The chair, secretary and several members participated. Point 1 and 2 are both topics of the COST Action lSI 002 Modernet in which several members ofSCOM actively participate from the start in 2010 and during the meetings in Amsterdam, Manchester in 2011. Point 2 was also handled in the workshop "Towards feasible EU Occupational Diseases Policy" which took place on the I st of December 20 II in Brussels. This workshop was carried out in the framework of an EU Project financed by PROGRESS funds. It start a project to gather information from 31 countries in Europe on implementation ofthe EU Commissions Recommendation 2003f670fEC and a synthesis report on the different aspects covered by the Recommendation and options. for EU ODs policy. This report was finalized in 2012 and published in 2013 with strong participation of several SCOM members.

PART IV - Assessment of Snccess of SC and Impact on Global Occnpational Health

SCOT has been a leading advocate toward the maturation of biological monitoring as an exposure assessment tool throughout the world. SCOT members serve as leaders on such groups as the ACGIH BEl Committee, the MAC-BAT Commission of the DFG in Germany and the Health and Safety Laboratory of the UK as well as similar groups in the Republic of Korea and recently also Italy. These groups have established advisory standards for occupational health professionals in the world. SCOT has worked with other SCs to sponsor a number of these meetings (ISBMs) so far and are making plans for the 10th Thus, the current focus of SCOT is the use of biological monitoring (BM) in exposure and effect assessment for intervention in workplaces and the general environment based on solid scientific and ethical principles. An additional focus of SCOT is also to promote occupational toxicology concepts and methods as tools for a more rational occupational health risk assessment.

We want to nnderstand and share widely the value aud impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improviug global occupational health. Please look back iuto the past and provide an assessment.

PART IV - Assessment of Snccess of SC and Impact on Global Occupational Health

We want to nnderstand and share widely the valne and impact of the work of the Scientific Committees on improving global occnpational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment.


During the previous Triennium various activities and collaborations were launched.

Main activities developed were: - participation of the SC to various Meetings, Seminars: - 5 days Residential Seminar "Occupational Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields and Optical Radiation - detection and prevention of health risks" held in Saariselka, Lapland, Finland, with participants from several European Countries; - development ofjoint activities with other SC ICOH on aspects ofOHS of common interest; examples are contacts with the SCs on Rural Health and on Occupational and Environmental Dermatoses; - development ofjoint activities with non-ICOH organizations on aspects of OHS of common interest as an example contacts with ICNIRP and AIRM.

Specific aspects ofOHS in the field of interest of the SC developed during this period are the problem of the occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields, and of the development of the OHS of exposed workers. This problem was treated and discussed during the 5 days residential Seminar in Saariselka, Finland. Another aspect developed is the risk related to occupational exposure to Solar Radiation: this problem was treated and discussed during the 5 days residential Seminar in Saariselka, Finland, and presented in a semi plenary lesson during ICOH2012, Cancun. Future activities in this field are under discussion, including further courses during meetings, and a position paper on occupational risk related to EMF exposure, and collaborations with other SCs (as the SC on Rural Health), the Brazilian ANAMT, and the Italian AIRM.

The evaluation of the activity of the SC on Radiation and Work during the triennium is certainly positive: the focus of this SC is relatively specific, but new activities andfields of interest were developed and implemented, and new contacts with both other SCs ICOH and non-ICOH organizations were put into action, and further development are on going.

5

149

Liaison and cooperation are on going among the SC on Radiation and Work and recognized international and national organization as ICNIRP (Prof Maila Hietanen), BEMS (Dr. David Black), AIRM, SIMLII (Prof Fabriziomaria Gobba). During this triennium the SC has acquired new members from different Countries, including developing Countries

On our opinion, the impact in terms of improving global occupational health should be considered largely positive.

As part of the new Board structure, each member is expected to be a liaison with at least one other Scientific Committee. Once in place each member is expected to bring back activities of the other group and opportunities where our Scientific Committee can contribute to their activities and dialogue, and where they may be instrumental in ours.


This is part of the strategic plan being developed by the Scientific Committee. This is likely to include professional societies around the world that focus on worker health, sleep and circadian physiology and work psychology. Candidate organizations include committees and boards under the American National Academies of Science and Engineering, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, American Psychology Association Committee 21 and the Society of Health Psychology.

Since Dr. Fischer belongs to the Board of the Brazilian Association of Occupational Medicine (ANAMT) and Brazilian Ergonomics Society (ABERGO), there has been collaboration between the ICOH Scientific Committee on Shiftwork and Working Time and those professional societies. Other members of this subcommittee belong to a number of national and international scientific societies in their respective countries and often participate in scientific partnerships related with occupational health issues.


I. Compendium of abstracts from the 21 st International Symposium on Shiftwork and Working Time (Brasil); Prepared by the Scientific Committee on Shiftwork and Working Time Board and Local Meeting Host Committee; expected release 2014

2. Book of ergonomic work schedule design practices for the practitioner; edited volume prepared by the Scientific Committee on Shiftwork and Working Time Board, chapters written by Board invitation; expected release 2015

3. Book of shiftwork and family relationships/family issues. It is being prepared under the coordination of Dr. Irena Iskra-Golec. Several Board members were invited to write chapters. Expected release 2015, by Springer Publishing House.

4. Guidance document on use of nomenclature and concepts; electronic guidance document in WIKI format, available to launch in 2013 through Working Time Society website (http://www.workingtime.org/)

Planned Scientific Contributious to ICOH 2015: (Be specific: List title of special scientific sessions, speakers, abstract reviewers, business meeting, etc.)

This is the topic of current planning by the Committee's board. Oral and poster sessions are being considered but it intersects with our biannual meeting so thought needs to be given as to how to make this synergistic rather than a competitive event.

177

An early invitation sent two months ago using the Shiftwork International Network (SINET) did show a modest interest. Very few people responded to our call. It is expected that more professionals/researchers might be willing to participate as the date ofICOH 2015 comes closer. Another announcement and invitation to participate at SC Shiftwork sessions will be delivered during the biannual symposium that will take place November 4-8,2013 in Brazil.


This Scientific Committee will be undergoing elections in November 2013 to determine the makeup of its board and executive functions. This may impact developed plans.


We want to understand and share widely the value and impact of the work ofthe Scientific Committees on improving global occupational health. Please look back into the past and provide an assessment.


Since long go ICOH Scientific Committees have consistently worked to develop and dissemination information/studies in their respective fields of knowledge within occupational health. The international and regional scientific meetings that are usually held every two-three years gather significant number of researchers, practitioners, governmental officials, representatives of nongovernmental organizations and the general public, helping us build and foster our community. They come from all continents and are directly and indirectly associated with occupational health issues, either in developing, applying or developing policy around our topic. In this way, our Scientific Committee has significant impact with regard to research to practice (technology transfer).

As a result representatives from our Scientific Committee have been invited to attend meetings organized by national and international organizations to debate working time issues, as well as to assist in the implementation of public policies/guidelines related with occupational health. A good example of this was when our Scientific Committee experts were invited by WHO in 2007 to participate in an internationalli1eeting held by IARC to discuss carcinogenicity of shiftwork. Through efforts like this we provide ICOH interconnectivity on topics important to occupational health of global scope.

• It can do all kind of things a person or a company could do. • It is clear who can speak for the society also for outsiders

Societies in Austria have to be registered and are used for extremely small as well as for large one's (e.g. a small sport group, a music group, but also a trade union). Motivation to do it is enough, no infrastructure is needed.

• At least every three years you have to have a general assembly. • One has to write a letter to the authorities telling them, where the

assembly was and who the new offcers and the two auditors (that can be any natural person which is not an officer) are.

• The By-laws have to be in German (and could be translated by a certified translator from/into English).

________________________________________________________________________________ Midterm Report: Please assess the success of the SC and its influence in improving global occupational health as a result of the work prior to the current Triennium. Give examples where possible. • The Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals is a recognized milestone in the history of

Occupational Medicine. As a main reference source of information on metal toxicology this book has guided professionals in Occupational Medicine all over the World for decades. It is now being actively revised by almost all members of SCTM under the direction of members Gunnar and Monica Nordberg and Bruce Fowler, who are the Editors of this indispensable educational tool for Elsevier.

• The work of SCTM has been highly influential with the Declaration of Brescia on neurotoxic metals (Landrigan et al., 2007). This document indicated the need for a ban of Mn-based fuel additives as a precautionary measure to avoid an increased health impact of Mn exposure, and was considered by the EU Commission in the formulation of the Directive 2009/30/EC for the regulation of metallic additives in fuel including the anti-knock agent Methyl-cyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT). The same document has been influential also for the decision of the Chinese government to adopt a more prudent policy for the regulation of the manganese content in gasoline.
