Two major subjects will be discussed: ageing and globalisation, both as related to safety and health in the construction industry.

The issue will be treated at 3 levels: the industry, the company and the individual. Internationally renowned keynote speakers will present both subjects, which will then be explored in depth during workshops.

During a roundtable discussion with the social partners of the construction industry, a synthesis will be developed and thus lead to the “Brussels Declaration”. The closing declaration should mark the start of local actions all over the world.

In the framework of this symposium, an exhibition on safety and health will be organized.
