GPA 3.1Working methods, technical assistance, for
organization, delivery, evaluation of Basic Occupational
Health Services
Examples of key 2012 outcomes already achieved or expected to be
achieved by the existing projects:
WHO Global report on "Occupational Health in Primary Health Care"
National, regional and sectoral OSH profiles and roundtables (forums,
e.g. Chile) needed for political commitment (GPA1.1)
Programs for establishing and strengthening occupational health
services
- China, Thailand, Vietnam, FYR Macedonia, South Africa, Latin
America, India, Turkey, Indonesia, etc + networks
Practical BOHS delivery models and tools and published practices
distributed, integrated in national system and policy; national profiles
and needs assessment tools is a base.
- China, Thailand, Vietnam, FYR Macedonia, South Africa, India,
Indonesia, etc
Examples of key 2012 outcomes already
achieved or expected to be achieved by the
existing projects:
Programs of grass-root level training of occupational
health and safety
Programs of post-graduate training
Train-the-Trainer Programs
WHO OH Competence Development facility, including
facilities for E & T and for
- BOHS Guidelines and a Manual
- BOHS field measurement kit for priority exposures
- Book good practices & solutions specific problems
BOHS conference in 2011 Finland, cooperation other
countries and regions e.g. S.A.
Examples of possible critical outcome gaps needing filling by 2012 :
Need for input for WHO report of OH in PHC
How to benefit of the work of others in developing strategy and programs on
OH : dissemination and sharing good practices ! How to do ?
How to create necessary tools and toolkits to build-up and integrate OH in
PHC, how do we measure outcome and coverage? What are indicators of
success (various possibilities: coverage, health outcomes etc) ?
Cross-links with Public HC and labor inspection, including workers and
employers; bringing together ministries of Health and Labor (mediating)
Funding of projects
Financial models for BOHS - OHS
Adequate policy and technical consultations
Starting-developing making OH in PHC more visible en empowering by
networking
Rehabilitation is missing as activity of OHS
Combining countries in development of policy e.g. S.E.E.
How to develop social security models for middle income countries e.g. for
early rehabilitation
How can we work together better :
toolkit tailor-madde for BOHS e.g. needs assessment tools
(ICOH will help)
there is is a need for a permanent platform (task force ?) for
communication – dissemination on BOSH, a.o. realizing that
national systems in industrialized countries evolve and may
be not in all aspects relevant for BOHS, sharing good
practices, learning materials, evaluation models, etc.
