Message from the PresidentDear ICOH Colleagues,The major progress reported at ICOH 2009, our triennial congress held in Cape Town, was greatly encouraging. Progress was seen in prevention strategies responding to diversifying workplace needs, risk assessment methods, and various programmes for bridging gaps. I am very grateful to all the ICOH members for showing their confidence in ICOH′s work. This confidence was clear in the activities reported at the congress and the elections held this year. The new Board members and the Officers who met in Cape Town agreed to further develop ICOH activities and its network towards our common aim of enhancing occupational health research and practice worldwide. In order to achieve this, we need to further reinforce the strengths we have and improve our joint action. Read more
