OSHA and the European Union Develop Cooperative Program in Occupational Safety and
Health
Since 1998, OSHA and the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work have been cooperating to
assist employers and other stake-holders in both the US and Europe in accessing regulations and
in taking advantage of guidance documents published on both sides of the Atlantic. One outcome of
this venture is the establishment of a World Wide Web site (http://www.osha-slc.gov/us-eu)
containing links to information on US and EU regulations, good practices, research, statistics,
training, publications and other topics. Joint conferences will be held every two years to
discuss common worker safety and health issues. The next conference will be held in November
2000 in San Francisco and will cover ergonomics, safety and health management, worker rights,
and small and medium sized businesses. Steering committees include persons from NIOSH,
Organization Resource Counselors, the National Safety Council, AFL/CIO and the US Mine Safety
and Health Administration.
