SHARPS (Supporters for the Health And Rights of People in the Semiconductor Industry)
Mission Statement
- On November 20, 2007, 19 civil society organizations formed a joint committee
SHARPS is a non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting the health and human rights of workers in the semiconductor and electronics industries.
We work to achieve recognition of occupational diseases affecting semiconductor workers and support workers so they can work in safe and healthy conditions. Our activities include counseling and assistance for victims of occupational illnesses, support for workers’ compensation claims, research on workplace hazards, advocacy for policy and institutional reform, and solidarity with domestic and international labor and human rights organizations.
Through these efforts, SHARPS seeks to prevent industrial diseases, ensure corporate accountability, and promote dignity, safety, and justice for all workers in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

This issue captures a season of active mobilization and remembrance across the network, from commemorations of World Environment Day, International Workers' Memorial Day, and Labor Day, to the announcement of the 2026 Small Grants recipients supporting EHS and victims' rights initiatives and organizing. It also documents urgent advocacy efforts, including calls for justice following fatal transport accidents affecting Cambodian garment workers, reflections on the sixth anniversary of the LG Vizag gas leak, and in-depth coverage of regional tragedies including the Shanxi coal mine explosion and a fatal hotel collapse in the Philippines.
As always, the issue features insightful columns from OEHS leaders (Kwon Young Eun of SHARPS) and youth advocates across the region, alongside critical updates on global labor policy, including the ILO's landmark Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy.
