Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

The Committee notes the Government’s first report.
Article 5 of the Convention. National programme on occupational safety and health (OSH). Objectives, targets and indicators of progress. The Committee notes the National Strategy for Well-Being at Work 2016-20 and the report on its evaluation, which provides a summary of the actions undertaken in the context of the national strategy. It also notes that this strategy contains operational objectives linked to four strategic objectives to improve OSH practices in the country, such as healthy and safe work, strengthening participation in the labour market, and reinforcing prevention and the culture of prevention. The Committee further notes that the strategy and its evaluation report do not include specific qualitative indicators of progress or measurable targets. The Committee recalls that in its 2017 General Survey, Working together to promote a safe and healthy working environment, paragraphs 147–153, it stressed the importance of evaluating the past performance of national OSH programmes using a methodology based on clear targets and indicators of progress. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to supply more information on the elaboration of qualitative indicators of progress that make it possible to evaluate to what extent the objectives of the national strategy for well-being at work are being achieved, as required by Article 5(2)(d) of the Convention. It also requests the Government to continue to supply information on the formulation and adoption of a new national strategy for well-being at work and on the consultations held in this context. It further requests the Government to send a copy of this strategy once it has been adopted.
