Romanian Association for Occupational Safety and Health – ARSSM is a professional, non-governmental, private law organization that brings together specialists in the field of occupational safety and health for the purpose of exchanging information and best practices.
ARSSM is an institution of public utility, recognized by the Government of Romania through Decision no. 792 / 23.09.2015, based on Government Ordinance no. 26 / 2000 on associations and foundations.
Since its establishment in 2005, ARSSM has expanded nationwide and, through its achievements in the field of occupational safety and health, has demonstrated the qualities of a credible, loyal, and potential partner both for governmental authorities and for social partners – employers and employees.
In Romania, every day one fatality and three occupational illnesses are recorded. It is estimated that 70% of work accidents and occupational diseases are caused by an inadequate attitude towards occupational safety and health.
We believe that when discussing occupational safety and health, the counseling and expertise of qualified specialists in the field are essential. One of our objectives is to maintain a professional quality standard through the events, training courses, and workshops that we organize.
We promote professionalism in occupational safety and health through continuous professional training programs, best practice guidelines, the organization of various events, specialized information, and the support provided for our members to develop dynamic occupational safety and health systems.
What do we do? Through all the events we organize – conferences, workshops, seminars – we actively contribute to raising awareness among employers, employees, and the general public about the importance of preventing work accidents and occupational diseases in reducing the number of victims.
ARSSM plays an important role in the development and implementation of national and European strategies in the field of occupational safety and health and aims to certify and recognize the competences of OSH specialists at the European level. To achieve these objectives, ARSSM collaborates with various national and European institutions and organizations.
