Investigating Airborne Dust at Construction Sites
Together with partners KOHS described an intervention approach to improve occupational health (OH) in the construction sector. Abstract: Many construction trades are characterised by exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust. Realising effective dust control measures is core to minimise workers’ exposure and thus protect their health. The distribution of the exposure in time can… Continue reading Investigating Airborne Dust at Construction Sites
Workshop “Arbeit & Zeit”
On October 9th, 2025 a workshop on “work & time” (“Arbeit & Zeit”), organised by the ÖAE (austrian ergonomics association) together with the Arbeitszeitgesellschaft (society for working time) and supported by diepartner.at will take place in Vienna (in German language). Oktober, 9th 2025, 13:00 – 17:30 Uhr expert input lineup: Arbeitszeitgestaltung in der stationären Langzeitpflege… Continue reading Workshop “Arbeit & Zeit”
Learning course: „Out-of-Hospital artificial respiration“
KOHS (via diepartner.at) developed a curriculum addressing the “extra-clinical artificial respiration”. Based on this curriculum a new learning course has been introduced, which is certified according to §64 GuKG (Austrian law).

COST Action: International Interdisciplinary Network on Smart Healthy Age-friendly Environments
KOHS participated in the COST Action: International Interdisciplinary Network on Smart Healthy Age-friendly Environments (NET4AGE-FRIENDLY), CA19136 [start date: 21/10/2020, end date: 20/10/2024] The goal of the NET4AGE-FRIENDLY COST Action was to promote social inclusion, independent living and active and healthy ageing in society and to establish an international and interdisciplinary network of researchers and stakeholders… Continue reading COST Action: International Interdisciplinary Network on Smart Healthy Age-friendly Environments
expert workshop on evaluation in occupational health (OH)
KOHS co-hosted an expert workshop on evaluation in occupational health (OH) (Vienna, 2024-10-08). KOHS presented experience in the evaluation of health promotion projects (in different sectors) as well as the concept of evaluation of the efficacy of interventions in occupational health (OH) by visualising exposures using the PIMEX method. This concept of the evaluation of… Continue reading expert workshop on evaluation in occupational health (OH)

IEA 2024 congress: Investigating Airborne Dust at Construction Sites
KOHS contributed to the International Ergonomics Society’s Triennial Congress, the IEA 2024, August 25th to 29th in Jeju, South Korea. A research study has been presented @ the IEA 2024: “Investigating Airborne Dust at Construction Sites“, Kutasi Z, Kudász F, Kviecien H, Szabó G.
Research focus ← overview
The focus areas of KOHS in the research chain (from the ergonomics perspective) are: Research on intervention process (the output of interventions in connection with socio-technical system design (STS)) and: Research on learning process (the outcome of a learning process in organizations) but also technology areas (with the main subject: applications for intervention). Combining the… Continue reading Research focus ← overview
36th Summer University on Ergonomics
KOHS participated and contributed to the 36th Summer University on Ergonomics, 3-5 July 2024, organized by Hungarian Ergonomics Society and Austrian Ergonomics Association. The event took place in Gyöngyös, Hungary, not far away from Budapest.
