"112 Expo" International Fair on prevention and emergency response and occupational health and safety, will be held from 23 to 26 September at the Belgrade Fair, under the general auspices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia-Sector for Emergency Situations and the auspices of the Ministry of Labor, Veteran and Social Affairs-Directorate for Occupational Health and Safety.Thirty ninth event, under the slogan "Prevention first", was opened yesterday by Aleksanadar Vulin, Minister of Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs.

Every year in Serbia in average 35 people get injured, every year there are 1000 serious injuries, and minor injuries much more. So, 35 lives a year might have been saved, if we had dealt all together with prevention, if we had done something that would prevent it from happening, if we had done everything to save human life and increase safety of workers. That’s why I ask you, employers, not to see the inspectors as enemies, and investment in security as an expense. That is an investment in you and in your production process and investment in the most precious what we have and that’s human life of employees, said Vulin.

The Minister announced recent and rapid changes in the Law on Occupational Health and Safety, with maximum involvement of the state in this area.
