    From 22 to 26 April 1996, Madrid, Spain will be host to the XIVth
  World Congress on Occupational Safety and Health. Some 2,000 safety and
  health experts, programme leaders and decision - makers from some 90
  countries will meet together to discuss key methods and strategies in the
  fight against workplace hazards.

    As on all previous occasions, this Congress will be sponsored by the
  International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Social
  Security Association (ISSA) and organized in cooperation with the
  leading organizations in the host country. In Madrid, it will be
  organized in conjunction with the Spanish Ministry of Health and Social
  Security and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
  (Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo).

    The Congress sessions will be held at the Palacio Municipal de
  Congressos, located in the Campo de las Naciones, which is equipped with
  all the facilities required for a major event of this type : meeting
  halls and break - out rooms with a capacity ranging between 50 and 3,000
  persons, highly efficient presentation and communication technology,
  restaurants and exhibition areas, all in an attractive architectural
  environment. In the breaks between sessions, participants can stretch
  their legs in the nearby Juan Carlos I park.

    The first day of the Congress (22 April 1996) will commence in a
  traditional manner with the opening session followed by the
  introductory reports from the organizers.

    During the afternoon, there will be a choice of themes between
  " Lifelong safety education and training" and " Occupational safety and
  health in small and medium - sized undertakings".

    During the morning of the second day (23 April 1996), there will first
  be a plenary session on the subject of the "Globalization of
  international relations : implications for occupational safety and
  health". This will be followed by two parallel sessions entitled :
  "Safety, organization and competitiveness". and "Occupational safety

    That afternoon there will be three parallel sessions, each devoted to
  one of the following themes : "Occupational safety integration and
  organization in construction", "Safety of machinery : safe workplace,

  the study and prevention of work - related disorders and diseases".

    The third day (24 April 1996) will be devoted in its entirety to the
  subject of chemical hazards under the title "Living safely with chemical
  risks". In the morning, there will first be a plenary session in which a
  general overview will be offered of the subject, and thereafter it will
  be possible to choose between the two subjects of "The contribution of

  further aspects of this main theme will be addressed : "Using substance
  knowledge to improve safety at work. Using measuring technology to
  monitor the workplace" and "Dangers due to hazardous materials in the
  construction industry".

    The plenary session entitled "Optimizing occupational safety and
  health through cooperation" will take place at the beginning of the
