Improving labour inspection and OSH systems in Uzbekistan

Despite very encouraging trends, fundamental principles and rights at work deficits including regarding the promotion of a safe and healthy working environment are still a challenge in Uzbekistan, and tripartite constituents require further support to address those challenges and promote compliance with labour laws. To address these challenges, the project focuses its efforts to improve the labour inspection and occupational safety and health (OSH) systems of Uzbekistan through: (a) the alignment of national legislation and practices with the relevant International Labour Standards (ILS) on OSH, to foster the development of a national preventative OSH culture and the formulation and implementation of a sound policy, system and programme for OSH; (b) the alignment of national legislation and practices with the relevant ILS on labour inspection, to allow the State Labour Inspectorate to effectively discharge its duties of promoting the improvement of working conditions, through the provision of technical advice and information, monitoring and enforcement of compliance with the legal provisions, and improvement of the labour legislation. The project is implemented in the framework of the Safety + Health for All Flagship Programme and benefits from the strategies, tools and lessons learned from recently implemented projects in the framework of the Flagship Programme.
