The first session will explore innovations in addressing COVID-19 in the workplace. COVID-19 represents a new type of occupational disease, with rapid onset of symptoms rather than the traditional long latency period. The need for immediate and urgent action by governments and workplaces to safeguard workers means new ways of diagnosing, recording and notifying are required to meet this challenge and to evaluate the burden and impact on workplaces and social security systems. The second session will focus the changing world of work and COVID-19, including the global impacts on employment, remote work, and strengthening social security protections for workers.

In the last hour of programming, three break-out sessions will shine a light on "the culture of prevention" and its role in responding to COVID-19, strengthening resilience for sustainable workplaces through social dialogue, and new Vision Zero indicators and training programs.
