We l co m e M e s s a g e
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 31st International Congress on Occupational
Health to be held in Seoul from 31 May to 5 June 2015. The Congress is organized as
the triennial Congress of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH),
following the centennial 2006 Milan Congress and the 2009 Cape Town and 2012 Cancun
Congress. With the theme of “Global Harmony for Occupational Health: Bridge the World”,
the 2015 Congress will be an important milestone in meeting our challenges at the time of
rapid changes in work life in globalizing economy.
Seoul Congress provides the perfect setting for the international exchanges of advances in
research and practice in our field. It is timely to focus on harmonized action for managing
complex work-related risks in increasingly diversifying work situations. In the Centennial
Declaration of the 2006 Milan Congress, we reaffirmed the joint international effort on
action-oriented research and practice for health and well-being at work for all workers,
and the Seoul Declaration, adopted by the Safety and Health Summit during the 18th
World Congress on Safety and Health at Work in 2008, followed it up by calling for global
partnership in this direction. ICOH can play an important role in prioritizing proactive risk
assessment and control and extending effective occupational health services for all workers,
and the Seoul Congress will give us useful insight into constructive partnership actions.
The scientific programme of the 2015 Congress is being formulated by the active
participation of the 35 ICOH Scientific Committees. Particular emphasis will be placed on
solution-oriented risk management procedures and network-based interactions. We are
certain that the plenary speeches, symposia, mini-symposia, special sessions, and posters of
the Congress will provide useful insight into harmonized good occupational health practices.
We are delighted to confirm the excellent preparations for making the Congress successful
and productive. The National Organizing Committee headed by Dr. Lee, Young Soon, with
renowned colleagues and experts from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency
(KOSHA) and the Korean Society of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (KSOEM),
is assuring a top-quality programme, reasonable fees and excellent facilities. By realizing
highly interactive exchanges of new developments, the Congress will lead to constructive
outcomes that help us achieve our common goals through international collaboration.
We look forward to sharing innovative ideas based on your expertise and commitment to
bridging the world.
Kazutaka Kogi
President of the International Commission on
Occupational Health (ICOH)

31st International Congress on Occupational Health
Lee, Young Soon
President of the ICOH Congress 2015
President of KOSHA
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 31st International Congress on Occupational Health
(ICOH Congress 2015) to be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea from 31 May to 5 June 2015.
Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency (KOSHA) is cooperating internationally in
order to disseminate global prevention culture as well as to implement “Seoul Declaration”
adopted in the 18th World Congress on Safety & Health at Work. Along with these efforts,
KOSHA is doing its utmost so that the ICOH Congress 2015 can serve as the venue to
bring harmony by bridging the gap of global occupational safety and health between
developed and developing countries.
In this regard, the ICOH Congress 2015 will be held under the motto Global Harmony for
Occupational Health: Bridge the world, which will be realized by active participation and
cooperation of global occupational health professionals and leaders.
The Congress organizer will spare no efforts to provide the best place where occupational
health experts can present their research performance they have made so far. I believe that
the experts will contribute to advancing occupational health in the world by exchanging
and discussing research, technology and knowledge on occupational health.
In addition, the ICOH Congress will see greater success by holding the concurrent events
such as the 10th Global Network Meeting of the WHO Collaborating Centers, the 30th
Annual Conference of Asia Pacific Occupational Safety & Health Organization, and the 25th
Korea-China-Japan Joint Conference on Occupational Health.
Once again, I would like to ask you to have interest and participate in the ICOH Congress
2015 to make the Congress more productive and successful.
Welcome Message

The Korean Society of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (KSOEM) as a coorganizer, has a great pleasure of inviting you to attend the 31 st Congress of the
International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), which will be held from May 31
to June 5, 2015 in Seoul, Korea.
Seoul, with 600 years of history, is the city where the past, present and the future are in
harmony. There are also various kinds of historic monuments that represent the history
of occupational safety and health through which you can recognize the value of workers’
safety and health.
South Korea experienced very rapid economic development from the 1960s to 1990s,
with a focus on manufacturing. The KSOEM was formed in 1988, when Korean people
began to have serious concerns regarding workers’ health and safety. Since then, the
organization has collaborated with labor and management, and government to cope with
occupational health and safety problems in Korea. Thus Korean society has established
a useful and unique occupational health and safety system that involves cooperation
among labor, management, professionals, and the government.
However, we are currently challenged by rapid changes in our industrial structure,
such as increases in service industries, small businesses, and aging workers. We are also
being confronted with new patterns of occupational diseases such as work-related
musculoskeletal disorders, work-related cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases,
mental health problems and various occupational cancers, including asbestos-related
cancers.
The experiences of Korea can be a lesson for the countries where occupational health
problems are emerging as major issues. So I hope that we can exchange and share each
other’s experiences and knowledge to find out solutions to the traditional or new issues
when you are in the ICOH Congress 2015. The Congress will be a good opportunity for
sharing scientific evidence and good practices by professionals, researchers, and policy
makers in the occupational health.
The KSOEM sincerely hopes that you could join us for the ICOH Congress 2015.
Woo, Kuck-Hyun
President of KSOEM

Lee, Ki-Kweon
Minister of Employment and Labor
The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) strongly supports the 31st ICOH Congress
which will be held in Seoul, Korea from May 31 to June 5, 2015.
The Korean government as well as MOEL has worked hard to bring the ICOH Congress to
Seoul in 2009. In 2012, the Minister of Employment & Labor with a member of the National
Assembly at the time attended the 30th ICOH Congress in Cancun, Mexico, in order to take
charge of the Congress Secretariat, and they showed their commitment to making it a
success.
The 31st ICOH Seoul Congress will be held under the motto of ‘Global Harmony for
Occupational Health: Bridge the World.’ The congress will serve as a venue for sharing
Korea’s occupational health policies and activities across the world and intensifying global
cooperation for a higher level of occupational health for workers in every country.
MOEL will spare no efforts to cooperate with workers, employers, and all those who are
involved in occupational health in order to make the Seoul Congress a chance to share
the latest in knowledge and technology. In addition, MOEL will do its best to help KOSHA
successfully host the Seoul Congress, which will be a tremendous avenue for active
exchanges and collaborations.
Again, I encourage all of the experts in the occupational health and safety fields to join the
31st ICOH Congress in Seoul, with strong interest and support.
Thank you.
