The WHO Web site dealing with occupational health exists now in English, French and Spanish.

WHO addresses occupational health through a programme in WHO headquarters, the six WHO regional offices and WHO country offices, with the support of a network of 70 Collaborating Centers.

WHO is implementing a global strategy to:

• provide evidence for policy, legislation and support to decision-makers, including work carried out to estimate the magnitude of the burden of occupational diseases and injuries,
• provide infrastructure support and development through capacity building, information dissemination and networking, and
• support protection and promotion of workers' health.

WHO also assists countries to develop or upgrade their national occupational health profiles and action plans and to create the capacity to implement the plans.

Between 2001-2004 WHO developed and implemented a workplan in collaboration with the WHO Network of Collaborating Centres. The workplan organizes the Collaborating Centers into 15 Task Forces that carry out projects in priority areas, supporting the implementation of the global strategy.
