The Indo-German Focal Point has organised a series of events related to Vision Zero and how to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic through the application of the 7 Golden Rules. We are happy to share a comprehensive presentation entitled “Vision Zero – The Implementation of Health and Safety at School Level” that summarises the many efforts that went into raising the awareness of school children on safety and health issues in India. The next Vision Zero event will be held as a virtual conference on 14 November 2021, on “Children’s Day” in India.
The Vision Zero Webinar Series III: Workplace Health Promotion was organized by the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), Malaysia on 21 October 2021, and focused on the challenges of implementing workers' health promotion during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The International Media Festival for Prevention is a partner of Vision Zero. It offers an overview of films and multimedia productions about safety and health at work from all over the world and provides an opportunity for participants to present their products to a major group of influential international safety and health professionals.
The International Social Security Association (ISSA) is pleased to invite you the upcoming Vision Zero Days, which will be held from 26 to 28 October 2021 as a hybrid event, virtually and on-site in Düsseldorf, Germany on the occasion of A+A, the largest international trade forum for safety, security and health at work.

The Congress emphasised the need for investment in resilient OSH and social security systems to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, build back better, prevent and prepare for future crises, and make work a positive human experience.

The main objective of this side event at the XXII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work is to invite the global OSH-Community to attend next year’s online Vision Zero Summit Japan 2022 from 11 to 13 May 2022.
A training excellence initiative to meet global calls for a safer world of work has been launched by the Vision Zero training network. The initiative is inspired by the International Social Security Association’s (ISSA) Vision Zero strategy, which focuses on a culture of prevention underpinned by seven golden rules, and supported by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
On the occasion of the Indian Independence Day on 15 August, hundreds of school children have made a Vision Zero pledge. While Vision Zero promotes health, safety and wellbeing at work, the support of school children is welcome and will also benefit teachers and other school staff.
