The International Section on Machine and System Safety was founded
in 1975 to deal with questions on occupational risks in this ?eld
at the inter- tional level. It is a member of the Special
Commission on Prevention of the International Social Security
Association (ISSA). The Special Commission is a body within ISSA
that focuses on work-related risks. It has 11 inter- tional
Sections as members. ISSA was founded in 1927 with its headquarters
in Geneva. It is working worldwide in over 150 countries with
nearly 370 member institutions from all ?elds of social security.
TheSection on Machine and System Safety, when it was founded, had
its focus on machine safety, particularly on the ma- facturing of
safe machinery, on assisting developing countries to be able to buy
safe used machinery, and on delivering clear operating
instructions. Our members and partners are: * institutions for
safety and health at work; * insurance companies dealing with
work-related risks; * research institutions; and * various
enterprises, e.g. manufacturers, importers and users of machines
and systems/installations. We thus bring together the experiences
of our members and partners. The role of the operators soon grew in
importance, and their capability for ha- ling machinery became an
important factor for the safety and success of enterprises. The
growing importance and complexity of handling different
man-machine-environment situations created new challenges and led
to - larging the Section's tasks to machine and system safety.
