The International Information Industry Awards are organised by Online Information 2005 and Information World Review. These prestigious awards offer the chance for the global industry to recognise the achievements of information management projects. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA) has been awarded in the category "Innovation in content management".

'We are very pleased at this important recognition as the website is our major communication channel' said Hans-Horst Konkolewsky, Director of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. 'It has been designed to offer the best possible support to a growing number of workplaces that are concerned about safety and health and need practical information to address their risks'.

The Agency's website, based on the most advanced Internet technology, Plone, acts as a gateway to an ever-increasing amount of safety and health information for people with an interest in safety and health at work such as workers, employers, practitioners and experts.
