Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Ministry of Employment and Labor (고용노동부)coreOthersKOSHA operates as an affiliated organization under the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The Ministry oversees and governs KOSHA's operations, providing policy direction and institutional oversight for occupational safety and health functions across Korea.

Others

• WorkSafeBC (Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia): Canadian provincial agency combining workers' compensation with workplace safety prevention and education; comparable to KOSHA in combining compensation support and safety training mandates.

Direct peers

• Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSH Council, Singapore): Singapore's tripartite council overseeing workplace safety and health policy, training, and outreach; directly comparable in function and Asian context to KOSHA.
• China Ministry of Emergency Management / State Administration of Work Safety: China's governmental authority responsible for workplace safety oversight and accident prevention; counterpart in scale and function to KOSHA across China's industrial base.
• JISHA (Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association): Japan's quasi-governmental industrial safety and health association with a near-identical mandate to KOSHA, providing training, technical guidance, and accident prevention services to Japanese workplaces under the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Broad incumbents

• OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Administration): The US federal regulatory agency enforcing workplace safety and health standards; functionally analogous to KOSHA at a national level but operates as a federal regulator rather than a service-delivery corporation.
• EU-OSHA (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work): European Union agency tasked with making Europe's workplaces safer, healthier and more productive; comparable in mandate to KOSHA but operating at a supranational level across EU member states.
• NIOSH (US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health): US federal agency conducting research and making recommendations to prevent work-related injury and illness; comparable in research and training aspects of KOSHA's mandate.
• SafeWork NSW / Safe Work Australia: Australian national and state-level workplace safety regulators providing policy, education, and enforcement functions analogous to KOSHA's role in Korea.
• HSE (UK Health and Safety Executive): UK national regulator for workplace health and safety, combining regulatory enforcement, guidance, and research — closely comparable in role to KOSHA, with a stronger regulatory enforcement function.

Regional players

• WorkSafe New Zealand: New Zealand's primary workplace safety and health regulator with prevention, education, and enforcement functions; comparable role to KOSHA but serving a different national jurisdiction.
