About the Association

Our non-profit organisation is dedicated to the international promotion of prevention in the chemical industry.

Through the International Section of the ISSA on Prevention in the Chemical Industry, the association is committed to safety and health protection in the chemical and chemical-related industries and promotes the international exchange of experience.

The ISSA - this is the International Social Security Association. It was founded in 1927 under the auspices of the International Labour Organization, and today has over 320 member institutions from over 160 countries.

A total of 14 international prevention sections are involved under the umbrella of the ISSA Special Commission on Prevention. This also includes the Chemistry Section.

We support companies in the chemical industry with international congresses, workshops and colloquia. Our media and publications offer guidance and help for safety-conscious working.

On the website https://www.issa.int/de/prevention-chemistry we provide information about the activities of the section.
