Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)

The process of improving working conditions at a shipbreaking facility must be approached systematically in order to bring them up to reasonable standards. With a view to achieving acceptable occupational safety, health and environmentally sustainable conditions, investment in permanent structures for their continuous review, planning, implementation, evaluation and action is necessary. Occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems should be implemented. The systems should be specific to the facilities and appropriate to their size and the nature of activities. Their design and application at national and facility levels should be guided by the ILO Guidelines on occupational safety and health management systems (ILO-OSH 2001).
ASRB is aware about the OSH management system which contains OSH policy, planning and implementation of OSH policy, evaluation of OSH performance.
