The new strategic framework of ENETOSH is based on an analysis of the network’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) carried out by the ENETOSH members in September 2017.
Following an intensive discussion at the 21th ENETOSH Network Meeting in Brighton in April 2018, the ENETOSH strategy 3.0 was approved by the ENETOSH Steering Committee by end of June.
The strategy paper describes the vision, mission and the operative goals for the network.
The ENETOSH Action plan 2018 – 2020 gives details about the future work of the ENETOSH Task Forces.

The British Safety Council has launched a multimedia competition. The organisation has a long history of producing posters to inform, educate and campaign around safety, health and wellbeing. With the way we consume media changing, posters are becoming more digital friendly and the competition is looking for both moving and static images to illustrate your messages.
The competition is called "Images of wellbeing" and is aimed at workers with an interest in design and design students.
The deadline is 3rd September and submissions from those under 21 years and those 21 and over will have their own prize awards. The competition is encouraging people to explore static posters and the evolving field of moving image posters. It is free to enter and there will be an exhibition in October.
People are also asked to submit a statement on how their work addresses the topic, for example how it enhances wellbeing within the workplace or college.
Details on the competition can be found here, and on Facebook here.

OSHAfrica, structured with a Regional Administrative Office in Lagos, Nigeria, and with sub-regional leadership offices across all African sub-regions, launched the OSHAfrica web platform with the aim of bringing activities closer to each OSHAfrican.
Occupational Safety and Health Africa Foundation with the trademark OSHAfrica is a Pan-African Occupational Safety and Health organisation legally registered in 2017 with the principal aim of bringing together Occupational Safety and Health professionals across Africa, creating an atmosphere for collaborative work, sharing of knowledge and OSH data across different countries and sub-regions of Africa. One of the founders (from Nigeria) is a member of the ENETOSH network. Of course, Education and Training in OSH across Africa is one of the important topics of OSHAfrica.

The OSHAfrica idea was conceptualised in ICOH Conference 2015 held in Seoul, South Korea. At a meeting during the conference, 23 African representatives agreed to create a unified Pan African OSH body. They created a WhatsApp Group called OSHAfrica which grew to 120 members discussing Occupational Safety and Health in Africa. The next step on this way is the new OSHAfrica web platform.
OSHAfrica is aspired to be the African information agency on Occupational Safety and Health.
The official launch of the project took place on 2 May at the 2018 ICO Congress in Dublin.

In January 2018, the International Labour Office published a Special Issue of its OSH Newsletter, with the main topic networking.
This Special Issue is based on the ILO global survey on OSH knowledge agencies, institutions and organizations (AIO) which was undertaken in 2016 to constitute, for the first time, a comprehensive global knowledge base of their scope of work and international networking practices.
The Special Issue of the OSH Newsletter was produced and published through the collaborative effort of the ILO, the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), and the Department of Public Health/Occupational Health of Helsinki University (HU), and financially supported by the ILO (Grant from the Republic of Korea) and ICOH.
