An OSH Profile is an essential document in the application of a systematic approach towards OSH. It provides an overview and the most up-to-date information on the current OSH situation in an area, and is used to assess gaps in the OSH system and identify priority areas for action. The methodologies used to develop OSH Profiles follow the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187) and its affiliated recommendation (No. 197). The objective of the OSH Profile is to analyse the current occupational safety and health situation in Kosovo, and to provide recommendations to bring the legislation more in line with international and European labour standards and best practices for OSH and labour inspections.

We hope that this OSH Profile can serve as a useful source of information for policymakers, government officials, workers, employers, and OSH practitioners who aim to follow and monitor OSH developments, and that it can be used as the basis for formulating an improved OSH programme in Kosovo.
