action_plan:

The Project objective is to drive improved performance in national OSH systems, working through improved OSH data/information, better OSH policy/laws, enhanced OSH technical capacity, and targeted OSH awareness initiatives. The Project work to improve OSH data and information is non-regulatory, and involves independent research or re-analysis of existing OSH databases. Much of the work on technical capacity is non-regulatory and involves increasing OSH skills and abilities of a wide range of stakeholders, other than OSH inspectors. All OSH awareness activities are non-regulatory. The Project is by design not a community engagement project; rather, it is a national systems project built on the rationale that this approach is more effective at delivering sustainable impact. That said, the project works with targeted communities of OSH stakeholders to improve their awareness and engagement – young workers; TVET students and teachers; agricultural extension agents; health ministry, labour statistics and social security officials; youth organizations; and legislators. It is not practical nor feasible for the project to develop work with new stakeholders such as public works and construction permitting officials, on top of the engagements to which it is already committed. Public works and construction permitting are often highly sensitive areas in which to attempt structural reforms, and the project lacks relevant experience in seeking changes in public works and procurement tendering/contracting modalities.

title:

lace greater emphasis on non-regulatory mechanisms to reinforce compliance with OSH regulation, including more active community engagement and the use of government procurement. These are discussed below: - Community engagement. In collaboration with implementing partners, SY@W should explore the potential for fostering greater community engagement (barangay, commune, village) to organize training of young workers, purchase PPE on a cooperative basis, organize voluntary OSH audits, and field complaints from young workers to be passed on to the appropriate authority. In this regard, it should consider whether it make sense to build on IPEC community monitoring initiatives in countries where these already exist. - Government procurement. SY@W should also consider working with government authorities to link procurement to socials aims, specifically the protection of young workers. In this regard, it should work with ministries of labor, construction, ministries of transportation, or other appropriate government agencies to assess the potential for including provisions in construction contracts that obligate companies to employ and train young workers, provide close worksite supervision, and participate in community monitoring initiatives.
