European Network of Safety and Health Professional Organisations (ENSHPO)

ENSHPO is a network of health and safety professional organisations from European countries, including current EU member states, applicant countries and others.

ENSHPO was established in 2001 to provide a collective voice within Europe for health and safety practitioners. ENSHPO represents the views, opinions and concerns of an extensive group of practitioners, operating as a dialogue partner with relevant national and international authorities, as well as co-operating with other organisations, institutions, and federations within Europe and beyond.

The aims of ENSHPO are to:

• promote participation from all health and safety professional organisations across the whole of Europe and to involve such organisations in the network's activities
• create an informal and formal platform for professional organisations and provide a supportive environment for them
• enter into discussions and co-operate with relevant European and international organisations and associations, including the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
• provide a forum that facilitates the exchange of information, experience and good practice on a wide variety of topics
• advocate health and safety in the work environment
  
  Laurence Dufour, IOSH International Officer, currently manages the ENSHPO Secretariat, and Hazel Harvey, Executive Director - Membership, is the IOSH representative in ENSHPO.
