Specialist event "Healthy work design in grassroots work" in Berlin
On May 22, 2025, the specialist event "Healthy work design in basic work" will take place in Berlin. The event is being organized by the ARBEIT: SICHER + GESUND (ASUG) programme of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) in cooperation with the Gesellschaft für Arbeitswissenschaft (GfA).
The conference is dedicated to the question of how physically and mentally challenging activities - particularly in the area of basic work that does not require formal vocational training - can be designed to be healthy, sustainable and future-proof.
The program offers well-founded scientific impulses, methodical insights and practical discussions. Prof. Dr. Johannes Brombach, (President of the GfA), and Prof. Dr. Susanne Geister will open up perspectives on the health situation of grassroots workers. Experts from various institutions - including REFA, MTM, MotionMiners, BAuA, IFA and ORBiT - will then present different methodological approaches that can be used to record and evaluate working conditions. In a subsequent discussion phase, the methods will be explored in greater depth in dialog with the experts.
In the afternoon, the focus will be on strategies for healthy work design: representatives from state authorities will discuss practical approaches to implementation. Other contributions will provide concrete insights into project experiences, such as day cleaning or occupational health and safety in grassroots work. The event will conclude with a plenary discussion on the future of grassroots work before ending at around 16:00. The detailed program is attached.
