Background

Workplaces claim more than 2.3 million deaths
per year, out of which 350,000 are fatal accidents and close to 2 million are
work-related diseases. In addition, 313 million accidents occur on the job
annually. The economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices
is estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year. Deaths
and injuries take a particularly heavy toll in developing countries, where a
large part of the population is engaged in hazardous activities, such as
agriculture, fishing and mining. Safety and health at work is therefore to be
seen as fundamental human right and is essential for inclusive economic
development.
 
In 2016, the ILO LABADMIN/OSH Branch launched
the Global Action for Prevention on Occupational Safety and Health Programme
(OSH-Gap) to achieve real reductions in the incidence of work-related deaths,
injuries and diseases and the creation of a global culture of prevention. This
programme responds to a critical demand for assistance in the area of OSH by
low and lower-middle income countries and a growing need for increased collaboration
and coordination among stakeholders to achieve sustainable impact. One of the
five key objectives of this programme is to generate increased demand for the
safety and health of workers.
 
The Project OSH for Young Workers and Young Employers in Global Supply Chains –
Building a Culture of Prevention will be implemented as part of this
programme. The goal of this Project is to reduce workplace injuries, fatalities
and occupational diseases through increased preventative and safety actions by
young workers and young employers in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and
Viet Nam. The Project will focus on the young workers and young employers
working in the manufacturing and construction supply chains.
 
In order to reach this objective, the project
will develop and pilot test various tools, methodologies and strategies to
raise workplace safety awareness and to generate public demand for improvements
in national OSH systems. It will be articulated around 3 main components: (1)
the creation and piloting of tools and communication materials to educate young
workers and young employers on OSH issues; (2) the development and/or
activation of networks of intermediaries able to effectively promote OSH
awareness and action in their workplace and communities and (3) the empowerment
of young workers and young employers at the XXI World Congress on Safety and
Health to be held in Singapore. By the end of the project, young workers and
young employers are expected to take concrete actions to reduce workplace
injuries, fatalities and occupational diseases. 
The project will be leaded by an international CTA and supported with
one admin staff stationed in Jakarta.
