Working environment through the work life Celebrating 60 years of Nordic work environment

In the past 60 years the Nordic Countries have worked closely to ensure a better working environment, and better occupational health and safety for workers.  This task is a never ending task that needs constant attention, and reminders about what we have done in the past and what we shall do in the future. At this meeting we plan to celebrate these 60 years of co-operation. We plan to discuss the evolution of our model, the work environment we are faced with through the lifespan, the changes, gender, age and economy, as well as return to work after spells of ill health and factors associated with labour mobility.

The meeting is organized as part of the Icelandic programme within the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2014, in co-operation with The Nordic Institute for Advanced Training in Occupational Health (NIVA).
