The new Industrial Safety Regulation specifically stipulates that employers must include ergonomic considerations when defining working routines and choosing materials, tools and equipment. Such resources must be designed and organised in a way that avoids any incorrect or excessive strain which might endanger the health or safety of the workforce or, if this is not possible, reduce the strain to a minimum.
The A+A Congress will reflect the interest among visitors and companies on the subject of ergonomics, while also showcasing new trends and developments. For the first time, each morning and afternoon will start with a keynote talk for all visitors this year. One of the speakers will be Prof. Ralph Bruder, PhD, from the Institute of Ergonomics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, with a presentation entitled “Humane Workplace Design – Productivity – Prevention”: “Ergonomics plays a key role in mastering digitisation and demographic change.”
A comprehensive and highly practical introduction to the subject will be given in a series of presentations called “Ergonomics – from Theory to Practice”, organised by the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardisation. Another major series at the convention will be on the subject of office and production ergonomics.
One event will be specially dedicated to the construction industry, bearing the title “Age-Appropriate Workplace Design in the Construction Industry”. The construction industry, in particular, is finding it increasingly difficult to meet its shortage of skilled employees. To ensure sustainable performance and quality, it is therefore all the more important to adjust working conditions in a way that suits the requirements of an ageing workforce. From 27 to 30 October, A+A in Düsseldorf is the world’s leading market and communication platform for occupational health and safety.
A+A 2015: Workplace ergonomics in focus
At A+A 2015, the ergonomic design of workplaces and working routines will be on a central issue again. By applying ergonomic findings, it is possible to increase output and at the same time reduce the strain on the workforce, which, in turn, leads to greater productivity. In view of current demographic developments, this is more relevant than ever before.

Occupational safety and health specialists will come together at the 37th International A+A. Expert know-how will be presented and extensively discussed in around 25 series of on-site events, some of which will also be streamed online. ‘The situation with Corona and current entry regulations unfortunately makes it necessary for us to focus on essential topics this time. This also means we can offer all our speakers and visitors the highest possible level of safety on site’, said Dr Christian Felten, Managing Director of Basi (Federal Association for Occupational Safety and Health). As the organiser of the A+A Congress, Basi works closely with Messe Düsseldorf. Congress tickets are available for 99 euros in the A+A ticket shop (aplusa.de), the world’s leading international trade fair for safety and health at work. In addition, all interested parties can participate in a selection of congress events online. As an additional bonus in 2022, Basi, together with the Trade Fair, will offer in-depth, future-oriented online sessions on important A+A topics in 2022/2023.
