Launch of Joint EU - IOHA Website -  http://eu.ioha.net

The International Occupational Hygiene Association and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work are working together to promote sharing of information on current safety and health topics of common interest.

A new web site http://eu.ioha.net  links to information available at the main IOHA site and to the Agency's network of European and Global OSH websites with information on key areas such as legislation, research, good practice and training.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work is a network organisation and it has built up a network of websites which can give practical information for creating safe, healthy and productive workplaces and to promote quality at work.

Creating a safer and healthier working environment in Europe lies beyond the resources and expertise of a single country or institution. That's why the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work was set up by the European Union: to bring together and share the region's vast reservoir of knowledge and information on OSH-related issues and preventive measures.

Since its start-up in 1997, the Agency's information network has grown to include not only EU Member States, but also the EU candidate countries and  EFTA countries. At the same time international organisations as well as leading OSH organisations from outside the EU have joined the network, and together have created a global information portal.
