Interaction Programme on Occupational Safety and Health Promotion in coordination with Ministry of Labour and Employment, Department of Labour, Occupational Safety and Health Project

  • On the occasion of Ministry of Labor and Employment celebrating 13th National Occupational Safety and Health week from 28 April to 4 May, 2013, NPHF and Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Project with support from Danish NGO DIALOGOS organized an Interaction Program on Occupational Safety and Health Promotion on 29 April, 2013 at Hotel Shankar. There was representation from Nepal Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Environment and Labor, NGOs, WHO, ILO in the program.

    The workshop became a platform for the government representatives, ILO and WHO to commit for the policy amendment, effective collaborative implementation and monitoring. The workshop thus in its own way brought new hope for the professionals regarding OSH and a collective agreement for advocacy in strengthening the triad of stakeholders in OSH i.e. Government, Employers and Trade Unions; not ignoring the Civil Society and Consumers.
