SPEECH OF SECRETARY GENERAL
Dear APOSHO Members,
Kindly join me in conveying our hearty congratulations to Mr. Rungsarit
Chantarat, President Safety and Health at Work Promotion Association,
Thailand (SHAWPAT) and President APOSHO 22 and his colleagues for
hosting the APOSHO 22 Annual Meeting and Conference in Bangkok from
9th - 13th May, 2006.
We also thank the Ministry of Labour, Faculty of Public Health,
Mahidol University and The Federation of Thai Industries for being
the co-organisers of this grand event. We are look forward to
participating in the event and enjoying their hospitality.
Due to the collective commitment and wisdom of the APOSHO members,
this organization has grown from merely 6 member organizations from
6 countries in 1985 to 33 organisations from 24 countries in 2006.
APOSHO also has the benefit of the vast experience of its 15 honorary
members.
The participation in the Conferences has been increasing on year to year
basis and they have been deliberating on burning OSH issues irrelevant
not only to the host country but the entire Asia Pacific Region.
The APOSHO member organization have greatly benefited from the experience
sharing at these events which in turn has helped them in playing
an increasingly important role in their respective countries fulfilling
one of the important objectives of the APOSHO.
We thank the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for efficiently
operating the APOSHO Homepage since 1999 and disseminating information
to all interested persons.
