OSH related training for constituents, including labour inspectors have continued after the completion of the project, but is expected to pick up further once the Better Work programme starts. Since the completion of the project, capacity building on OSH for government officials, including labour inspectors, has taken place under different projects, including the project targeting the cotton farming sectors, labour and mines inspectors have also been exposed to safety and health in the mining industry, which is the key topic on OSH in Baluchistan province. Support is ongoing to the KP province to have the new OSH Act adopted, while Sindh has now approved the Rules to implement its OSH law. Punjab is in the process. Labour Officials from GB has also received training on OSH and other labour inspection issues through a series of training in 2019 and a dedicated three day training in December 2019.

title:

OSH skills and capacity are in high demand. Several of the labour inspection leaders raised OSH as an issue requiring greater focus. While some initiatives already are underway, even more focus and initiatives are desired. Different provinces wanted different sectors, like Baluchistan, which wanted a special emphasis on ship demolition, as this is an exposed sector in the province.
