The theme of the upcoming Congress is “Occupational Health for All: From Research to Practice”, and is based on the belief that all workers of the world require health protection to prevent any occupational disease or injury as part of their human and labor rights.

To achieve such an important goal, we need to take advantage of new scientific information to develop innovative guidelines, new approaches and procedures, training courses, and so on that can be applied to workers’ health protection. Over 90% of scientific papers on occupational health are written in developed countries, though it is in developing countries where the most compelling needs in this field are a part of everyday reality. The Cancun Mexico Congress aims to build a bridge between research and practice in order to help developed and developing countries improve the level of health protection for workers and help prevent occupational injuries and diseases.
