The main objective of the OISS (Ibero-American Organization of Social Security) is promoting the economic and social welfare of the Ibero-American countries, through the coordination, exchange and utilization of their mutual experiences about Social Security. To that end, the Organization has a systematic programming in the areas of training, technical assistance, visits to exchange experiences, meetings, conferences and publications. It also acts as a specialized advisor in the area of social protection for MERCOSUR and the Andean Community and it asumes some responsabilities for specific tasks of the Summit of Heads of State and government to support the coordinating role and motivation provided by the SEGIB. In this sense, it deserves a special mention the coordination and support provided for the development of the Ibero-American Agreement of Social Security, ratified by the XVII Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government, which is planning its direct action on the defense of the social rights of migrant workers in the countries of Ibero- America. Among the latest actions implemented, it is worth mentioning the celebration of the Second Congress about Occupational Risk Prevention in Latin America, Prevencia 2007, where the OISS has been required to tackle two important projects: Developing an Iberoamerican Strategy about Security and Healthy Creation and maintaining an Occupational Risk Observatory in the Region.

Keywords : Social Security; Occupational risks preventio; Security and healthy; Ibero America.
