The Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) is set to become the latest member of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work's online information network.

The Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) is set to become the latest member of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work's online information network.

The Agency's network of websites provides access to global information on legislation and regulations, good safety and health practice, research, statistics, training and more.

It has grown rapidly since its launch in 1998 to become 'the world's largest online repository of validated and up-to-date safety and health information'.

As the latest partner in the Agency's network, the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association will join forces with some of the biggest names in workplace safety and health information.

Network partners already include the International Labour Organisation, the World Health Organisation and the Organisation for American States, as well as specialist safety and health institutions in more than 30 European countries, Australia, Canada, Brazil and the USA.

Commenting on the arrangement, the Director of the European Agency, Hans-Horst Konkolewsky, says: "I'm especially pleased to welcome JISHA as our first Asian network partner.

"Workplace safety and health is a matter of global concern and geographical barriers should not stand in the way of the flow of information that can raise safety and health standards in workplaces across the world.

"Through this cooperation arrangement, businesses, workers and experts in Europe and Japan will be better informed in the future about regulatory demands, new research findings and good practices - and therefore be in a better position to meet the safety and health challenges of globalisation".

The Japanese website is expected to go online before the summer of 2004.
