ILO: Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention (No. 187) and Recommendation (No. 197), 2006
Description:
This convention aims to promote a preventive safety and health culture and to progressively achieve a safe and healthy working environment. It emphasizes the need to ensure that higher priority is given to OSH in national agendas and to foster political commitments in a tripartite context for the improvement of OSH. It is a promotional rather than prescriptive convention and is based on the application at the national level of a systems management approach to OSH. The convention also defines the elements and function of the national policy, the national system and the national programme and discusses monitoring, evaluation and improvement of the national OSH system. Further operational details and mechanisms are provided in the Recommendation (No. 197).
