It is amazing that even when over 170 different countries and organizations, with translators in various languages, get together to discuss a common subject (health and safety) you hear the same issues and discussion topics around the table time and time again.
After the general session in the morning, the exhibit area opened with ribbon cutting and more traditional drumming. There was Intentional Film and Multimedia Festival that also opened on the Monday. There were a couple of Canadian entries into this – such as IAPA`s new worker orientation and the Danatec WHMIS video created by CalBright Ventures Inc out of Montreal. The afternoon was filled with visiting these sessions and choosing between which of the 16 symposia sessions I wanted to attend.
INSHPO, the International Network of Safety and Health Practioner Organizations of which we are a part, had their Executive Council Meeting during this day and were busy preparing for their Annual General Meeting the following day.
In the evening, there was some time to see local sites and experience some of the culture, as well as visit with Canadian friends at the conference and at the various tour spots.

That is because all of those countries are into the health and safety of all workers even on what industry they are in. I think it is really good as it is one way to help your country have more profits but still ensure that all workers are safe.
