It will also use its place at the trade fair, which will unite over 4000 occupational safety and health (OSH) experts from around the world, to officially launch OSHwiki (https://osha.europa.eu/en/topics/oshwiki/) and demonstrate its Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tools (https://osha.europa.eu/en/topics/oira/).

The official launch of OSHwiki will take place at EU-OSHA's stand on 25 August. OSHwiki will enable OSH knowledge, information and best practice to be shared in order to support government, industry and employee organisations in ensuring safety and health at the workplace. It aims to be an authoritative source of information that is easily updated, edited and translated.
Visitors to EU-OSHA's exhibition stand will be able to experiment with various OiRA tools. The OiRA tools, which are available for free online, make risk assessment quick and easy, especially for smaller organisations. The tools help organisations identify risks, take preventive action and monitor and report risks. Thirty-eight are currently available, including tools for hairdressing and road transport, and a further 30 are under development.
The stand will also host a prototype of EU-OSHA's new corporate website, which visitors can test and explore.
The Agency will also take its seat in the jury at the International Media Festival for Prevention. The festival offers an overview of films and multimedia productions from across the world and provides an opportunity for participants to present their projects to a major group of influential international safety and health professionals. This year the competition has received a record 290 submissions from 33 countries.
