KOSHA created an MOU for technical cooperation in the OSH field with American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE, Executive Director Fred J. Fortman) on March 13^th, at the headquarters of ASSE in Chicago, U.S.

As an international non-profit organization, ASSE has exercised its influence to the world by setting international OSH standards since 1911. The organization's membership consists of some 36,000 members who are experts or professionals in the field of occupational safety and health or environment.

KOSHA and ASSE will work together to develop OSH information for workers; participate in symposium and conference; exchange knowledge and skills on OSH standard and regulations in accordance with the MOU.

As of 2015, KOSHA has created MOUs with 51 government and professional organizations on occupational accident prevention from 27 countries such as U.S., U.K., Germany and France.

President Lee Young-soon said "Taking this MOU creation with ASSE as a momentum, KOSHA will solidify global OSH networks and cooperation and escalate the safety and health level in Korea through technology exchange. I am positive that this would help KOSHA to truly become a world-renowned specialized organization for accident prevention."
