The relevance of the conference is beyond doubt. The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has become a truly serious test for the entire global community. The spread of COVID-19 and its mutants has long passed from the category of "the most significant challenge to the resilience of public health systems" into a threat to all spheres of human activity.

    TASK FORCE 1: GUIDELINES Co-Chairs: Andrew Curran ([email protected]); Evelyn Kortum, WHO ([email protected]) The aim of this element in the Work Plan of the Network of WHO Collaborating Centres in Occupational Health is to ensure at least the minimum levels of health and safety at work. Existing standards that define the safe levels of various exposures and other conditions of work need to be identified. The standards can also serve as references for assessment of the results of monitoring and provide guidelines for planners and for safety experts in the countries. The Fifth Meeting of the Network recommended that an inventory of the existing publications and guidelines be made in order to facilitate the full utilization of the existing good-quality documents and to avoid duplication of work. WHO Guidance for Health Care Workers Gerry Eijkemans, WHO ([email protected]); George Delclos, University of Texas, USA ([email protected]); Gustav Wickström, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health ([email protected]) It is intended that in the year 2004, WHO would hold an international review meeting to renew a proposed set of guidelines for health care workers. The approach to preparing these international guidelines is to gather existing guidelines from national and international organizations. During 2002 draft guidelines on violence at work in health care settings produced by WHO and ILO have been distributed widely for testing. During 2003 a broad effort to collect national guidelines will be undertaken. Funding

    JUDGMENT ON THE PROBLEM OF TOTAL BAN OF ASBESTOS BY THE RUSSIAN GROUP OF GOVERNMENTAL EXPERTS MOSCOW, RUSSIA 2002 EXPERTS Prof. Nikolai Izmerov, Academician of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Director of RAMS Institute of Occupational Health Prof. Stanislav Domnin, Head of the Department of Scientific Maintenance, Federal Centre for the State Sanitary and Epidemiologic Surveillance; Chief Expert in Hygiene of the Ministry of Health Prof. Ludmila Elovskaya,Leading Researcher of RAMS Institute of Occupational Health Prof. Violetta Milishnikova, Deputy Chief Occupational Physician of the Russian Federation Dr. Tatyana Burmistrova, Chief of the Roentgenologic Department, Occupational Health Clinic, RAMS Institute of Occupational Health Dr. Eugeny Kovalevsky, Senior Researcher, RAMS Institute of Occupational Health Dr. Sergey Kashansky, Head of the Department of Work Hygiene, Ekaterinburg Medical Research Centre for Prevention and Health Protection of Industrial Workers, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation THE GIVEN MATERIAL WAS FORWARDED TO THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY IN SEPTEMBER 2002 INTRODUCTION Directive 1999/77/EC on asbestos ban adopted on 26 July 1999 by the European Council affected negatively asbestos industry of Russia where a great number of workers was employed causing serious socio- economic impact to the Russian economy in general and to chrysotile asbestos branch, in particular, involving adversely other branches related to the fabrications of products based on it. It seems necessary to note that the states – members of the European Council enjoy their inviolable right to decide on what materials, or substances, they are to use at their territories irrespective of economic, political, social, and other prerequisites, and that the EC decision on asbestos ban exceeds the limits of the internal EU problem.

For over a hundred years, Canada has been one of the main global sup- pliers of white asbestos (or chrysotile, to give it its technical term). Quebec’s vast mines and mills fed asbestos fibre to the world’s leading asbestos companies in the USA and Europe. In these countries, asbestos users enjoyed the benefits of the fire-resistant material, but soon found out that these came at a frightening cost. Canadian fibre (like any type of asbestos) causes asbestosis (lung scarring) and cancers.

    TASK FORCE 10: PREVENTIVE TECHNOLOGY Co-Chairs: David Zalk, IOHA ([email protected]), Gerry Eijkemans, WHO ([email protected]) Effective occupational health practice requires not only the front-line OHS at the enterprise and local levels, but also several expert services that individual companies or workplaces may not be afforded to sustain. Expert advisory and analytical services of occupational hygienists, ergonomists, and safety engineers, among others will be needed. In all steps of occupational health practice the principles of total quality management and continuous quality improvement should be followed. Translation of Toolkit Tom Sorahan ([email protected]), Heather Jackson ([email protected]) International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA), USA Keywords: prevention, control banding, occupational hygiene, work-related illness, ILO Toolkit Target group: all interested CCs over and beyond those who have currently expressed interest. The objective is to make the control banding techniques, as illustrated by the ILO Toolkit, usable by all participating Collaborating Centres. The translation will afford the opportunity for individual countries to begin the process of taking ownership of the Toolkit as appropriate to their needs. The aim is to put forth the ILO Toolkit to the participating CCs and allow them to translate the Toolkit to ensure a culturally appropriate version for them to distribute, evaluate, and eventually implement. A two-day workshop on Control Banding was hosted in London, UK on the 4th and 5th of November, 2002. This workshop included presentations that illustrated the translation of the Toolkit into Indonesian and Russian with applications begun within Indonesia. Further, current plans are to translate the Toolkit into Bulgarian, Chinese, and Spanish.
