The Asia-Pacific Occupational Safety and Health Organization (APOSHO) is an international body composed of non-profit professional and non-governmental organizations devoted to the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases. APOSHO was established to contribute to the prevention of occupational accidents by discussing and exchanging experiences and knowledge, and new ideas about the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases.
Although full membership is given to non-governmental organizations in the Asia-Pacific region, any occupational safety and health organizations, even in the regions other than the Asia-Pacific, can join the APOSHO as associate or affiliate members.
