A better understanding of positive effects of a good working environment supports the implementation of effective health and safety policy at company 
level. It complements the set of rules and regulations with a significant 
parameter that is directly linked to the intrinsic motivation of a company.

A two-part course on this subject will take place in Leuven, Belgium (07-10 June 2009) and Saariselkä (Lapland), Finland (07-10 March 2010). ISSA Section for Information supports this course in the context of its activities regarding safety and security.
