will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and provide a forum for the exchange of views presented
by practitioners of occupational and general medicine, occupational hygiene and epidemiology,
pulmonology, allergology, neurology, psychology, toxicology, occupational health and safety,
ergonomics, occupational physiology and psychophysiology, as well as other related fields.
Occupational medicine has undergone a number of changes in recent years, which currently need to be
addressed by means of a gathering complete with a quality professional program and attractive
accompanying events.
The main topics shall include:
Occupational Health Services and Specifics Related to Individual Fields
New Trends in Preventing Damage to Health at Work
Longevity in the Workplace
Risk Analysis: New and Familiar Occupational Risks

The structure of the congress will be divided into keynote lectures with subsequent presentations of
original scientific works. Part of the program will take the form of round tables, discussion forums,
workshops, sections for nurses, and poster presentations.
Participation in the congress counts towards CMC credits within its continuing education program. We
believe that you will find the congress interesting and we will be pleased to have it serve as a pleasant
environment for obtaining up-to-date information and allowing for continued education in occupational
medicine and related fields. We look forward to seeing you in Mariánské Lázně.

This course presents technical methods for assessment of physical activities and bodily postures, mainly for the use at the workplace. The course will present background of methods, theory, selection of approach and how to use systems as well as interpretation of results. Examples will be given and participants will get experience from hands-on exercises in use of the equipment.

Course objectives:
• Present background, theory, use and interpretation of results of methods for assessment of activities and postures at work as well as during leisure time.
• Give participants impression of practical use of some equipment by hands-on exercises.

Main topics:
• Presentation of methods for assessment of physical activities and posture
• Self-reported data contra technical systems
