About OSHA International
A global consortium dedicated to elevating occupational safety standards, regulatory competence, and practical workplace health systems worldwide.
Advancing Global Occupational Safety through OSHA Standards
OSHA International is a global consortium of occupational safety and health professionals, consultants, trainers, institutions, and industry practitioners committed to advancing workplace safety through the promotion, interpretation, training, and implementation of internationally recognized occupational safety and health standards, with particular emphasis on the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.
“Our work is founded on a simple principle: safe work should be a global standard, not a regional privilege.”
We bring together safety professionals and organizations across North and South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa to create a connected professional ecosystem through which OSHA-based knowledge, competencies, training, and best practices can be accessed and implemented across industries and borders.
Bridging the Gap Between Safety Standards and Safety Performance
We do not believe that occupational safety is achieved merely by possessing a certificate, having a safety policy, or complying with a regulation. True safety is demonstrated when standards are understood, translated into practical systems, implemented consistently, and embedded into the culture of an organization. That is the purpose of OSHA International.
The OSHA Standard Framework: Applying Standards Alongside Local Laws
The OSHA standards established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (U.S. Department of Labor) provide an authoritative reference framework for occupational safety and health practice worldwide. Our curricula and audit models are engineered to help practitioners understand OSHA requirements, recognize hazards, evaluate risks, and apply effective controls.
Where local legislation or sector-specific regulations apply, OSHA International actively promotes applying OSHA-based knowledge alongside national statutory laws, municipal codes, and recognized international standards such as ISO 45001.
From Static Regulations to Living Systems
A regulation alone cannot prevent an incident. The OSHA Standard Framework operates across a structured 4-stage continuum that bridges regulatory text to accident-free workplace performance.
STANDARDS
Authoritative global benchmarks establish statutory minimums, physical limits, and legally recognized safety mandates.
KNOWLEDGE
Deep, systematic understanding of hazard recognition, hierarchy of controls, and chemical / mechanical risks.
COMPETENCE
Proven ability demonstrated through proctored examinations, accredited credentials, and verifiable annual CPD.
IMPLEMENTATION
Embedding standards into operating procedures (SOPs), safety documentation, toolbox talks, and continuous inspection.
The Hierarchy of Controls in Practice
OSHA International training instills the mandatory hierarchy of hazard controls, prioritizing systemic prevention over reliance on human behavior.
To become the world's leading global platform for the advancement and implementation of OSHA-based occupational safety and health standards.
We envision a world where every worker, regardless of industry, geography, or economic environment, has access to competent safety professionals, quality safety education, and effective occupational safety and health systems.
Our long-term ambition is to build a globally connected community of safety professionals and institutions capable of raising the standard of workplace safety across industries and developing economies.
To advance global occupational safety by providing authoritative OSHA-based training, professional certification, competency development, technical resources, and implementation support while building a worldwide network of competent safety professionals and authorized training partners.
We accomplish this by:
Our Core Values
