EUROSHNET is the network for cooperation between European OSH professionals active in standardization, testing, certification, and/or related research. EUROSHNET has the purpose of setting up a process of communication and cooperation between European OSH experts. Its fundamental objective is to anchor the level of protection required by European Single Market Directives not only in European, but also in international standards.
The essential aims of EUROSHNET are as follows:

• To facilitate contact between individual OSH experts
• To promote discussion of issues of common interest
• To disseminate information of interest to occupational safety and health
• To forge and maintain contacts with other networks

The EUROSHNET communication platform will, first and foremost, facilitate contacts between OSH experts, accelerate the discussion process and the elaboration of consensus views, and place them on a wider footing. However, EUROSHNET cannot, and should not, replace personal contact between OSH experts. Numerous other means of cooperation within the network are being developed and exploited. Events and meetings for reaching a consensus on certain subjects are further communication channels within the network.
