When EU-OSHA was established, with the adoption of its founding regulation in 1994, it was with the aim of providing the EU bodies, the Member States, the social partners and those involved in the field with useful technical, scientific and economic information relating to health and safety at work.
Ko je bila leta 1994 vzpostavljena s sprejetjem uredbe o njeni ustanovitvi, je bil njen namen organom EU, državam članicam, socialnim partnerjem in tistim, ki so dejavni na področju varnosti in zdravja pri delu, zagotoviti koristne tehnične, znanstvene in ekonomske informacije, povezane s tem področjem.
