Four days, thousands of visitors, and countless conversations later, A+A 2025 once again proved why it is the world’s leading event for workplace safety, health, and security.
This year’s discussions made one thing clear:
The industry is entering a new phase — one that blends technology, human-centered thinking, and data into a safety culture.
Here are the key takeaways that stood out most clearly:
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) continue to be the leading cause of lost workdays worldwide.
This was reflected at A+A by the strong interest in:
The focus is clearly on reducing physical strain at the source, not just treating its symptoms.
No matter how advanced technology becomes, the industry agrees on one principle:
Tools only work if people trust and accept them.
This means:
The future of safety tech is simple, anonymous, and easy to adopt.
More organizations are aligning with frameworks such as ISO 45001, and DGUV regulations.
Audit teams and safety leaders increasingly expect:
It’s no longer enough to “do the right thing” — companies must prove it.
One of the strongest impressions from A+A 2025 was the level of openness across the industry.
Manufacturers, researchers, and practitioners shared:
This collective mindset is speeding up innovation and helping ensure solutions truly fit real working environments.
A+A 2025 showed that workplace safety is entering an era defined by prediction, ergonomics, transparency, and human-centered innovation.
The industry is no longer just responding to incidents — it’s rethinking how safety, health, and well-being can be built directly into the way work happens.
With new tools, smarter data, and stronger collaboration, the next years will bring big changes — and even bigger opportunities for safer, healthier workplaces.
A+A is the world’s leading trade fair and congress for workplace safety, health, and security.
It brings together global experts, companies, researchers, and practitioners to share new ideas, technologies, and best practices that influence the future of occupational safety.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are still the leading cause of lost workdays worldwide.
Ergonomics helps reduce physical strain, prevent injuries, and improve worker well-being — especially in logistics, manufacturing, and other physically demanding sectors.
Digital tools such as wearable sensors, exoskeletons, AI-based movement analysis, and micro-learning modules are making it possible to track ergonomic risks and improve worker technique sustainably.
