OSHwiki is a web platform that allows users to create, collaborate and share knowledge on occupational safety and health in all languages. Its aim is to support government, industry and employee organisations in ensuring healthy and safe workplaces.
At the launch, Dr Christa Sedlatschek, director of EU-OSHA, called on OSH professionals to become part of OSHwiki and add to the body of knowledge already available.
She said: “The platform is an important step in the drive to improve health and safety in European workplaces and brings added value to those involved on both a professional and a personal level. OSHwiki allows experts to share their work with each other in one easy and convenient place.”
OSHwiki is intended as a reliable source of OSH information where accredited authors can create and edit content quickly and easily. Contributors including national organisations for occupational safety and health as well as leading research institutes.
Nearly 300 articles have already been uploaded by OSH experts, with topics including OSH management and organisation, dangerous substances, ergonomics, psychosocial issues and groups at risk.
