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.

Off the Circuit (Subtitle: The Words, Lives, and Dreams of Semiconductor Occupational-Disease Survivors) is an oral history collection that records the life stories of fifteen people affected by occupational diseases in the semiconductor industry. Over the course of about eight months, six interviewers met with the survivors and bereaved families, conducted in-depth interviews, and shaped them into a single volume.
This record differs notably from the narratives that SHARPS has previously shared. It is a story of pain, yet also a story of dreams, hope and love. It is a deeply personal, yet profoundly social story at the same time. Please read the stories of those who courageously offered their voices—so that no one else will ever suffer the same harm again.
We couldn’t translate the entire book, but we are sharing selected excerpts translated from each chapter.
