The Agency is located in Bilbao, Spain and is managed by a Board with Government, employer and worker representatives from all EU Member States, as well as representatives from the European Commission.
 
The Agency has co-ordinated a network since 1997 with focal points in each Member State of the Union. The Agency also co-operates with various International Organisations, safety and health administrations and interested parties world-wide. The Agency carries out research on various aspects of occupational health and safety, including Musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomics and risk assessment.
