OSH Management Systems at the national level

OSH Management Systems are a logical and useful tool for the promotion of continual improvement of OSH performance. They should be integrated into OSH national programmes as a way to strategically promote the development of sustainable mechanisms for OSH improvements in organizations.

Key components of OSH Management Systems at the national level:

  • Set up an occupational health and safety authority
  • Establish mechanisms or ensuring compliance and enforcement capacity
  • Provide occupational health services
  • Collaborate on OSH with relevant insurance or social security schemes covering occupational injuries and diseases
  • Offer support for micro, small and medium sized enterprises and the informal economy
  • Supply information and advisory services on OSH
  • Provide OSH training
  • Carry out research in OSH
  • Establish a mechanism of data collection and analysis on occupational injuries and diseases caused by chemicals
