OSHAfrica
OSHAfrica, structured with a Regional Administrative Office in Lagos, Nigeria, and with sub-regional leadership offices across all African sub-regions, launched the OSHAfrica web platform with the aim of bringing activities closer to each OSHAfrican.
Occupational Safety and Health Africa Foundation with the trademark OSHAfrica is a Pan-African Occupational Safety and Health organisation legally registered in 2017 with the principal aim of bringing together Occupational Safety and Health professionals across Africa, creating an atmosphere for collaborative work, sharing of knowledge and OSH data across different countries and sub-regions of Africa. One of the founders (from Nigeria) is a member of the ENETOSH network. Of course, Education and Training in OSH across Africa is one of the important topics of OSHAfrica.
The OSHAfrica idea was conceptualised in ICOH Conference 2015 held in Seoul, South Korea. At a meeting during the conference, 23 African representatives agreed to create a unified Pan African OSH body. They created a WhatsApp Group called OSHAfrica which grew to 120 members discussing Occupational Safety and Health in Africa. The next step on this way is the new OSHAfrica web platform.
OSHAfrica is aspired to be the African information agency on Occupational Safety and Health.
The official launch of the project took place on 2 May at the 2018 ICO Congress in Dublin.
