Building a Generation of Safe and Healthy Workers: Safe & Healthy Youth_Phase 2

The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to increase the capacity of countries to address occupational safety and health, with particular attention to addressing those safety and health issues that affect working youth. The project will combine global, regional, and country-specific interventions that focus on improving relevant policy and legislation and strengthening enforcement efforts; increasing knowledge and dialogue on safety and health issues; and contributing to the sustainability of impact. A special focus of the project will be on protecting young workers by improving their access to information, education and training about occupational safety and health. The project will develop pilot programs in two to three countries where an OSH strategy could be successfully implemented to target high-risk sectors for youth, such as mining, construction and agriculture, and to improve workplace safety and health. These pilot countries will serve as models for replication in other countries and/or regions. In addition, the project will establish the foundation for and provide support to a new ILO global flagship initiative to improve safety and health at work.
