It also contributes as co-organizer to the achievement of other significant OSH events in the country, in collaboration with its National Network Partners e.g. The National OSH Congresses held in Brasov since 2023 on a regular basis/yearly, The National OSH Conferences of ARSSM/The Romanian OSH Association held twice a year, etc.
The Romanian FOP also participates in any OSH event organized in the country whenever invited and/or asked for any contribution e.g. it provides the campaign publications and the promotional materials to its main partners, with the help of the Agency (under the FAST umbrella).
