The first audit (POT) was carried out in Mexico in February 2006, including the provision of recommendations for improvement of OSH and economic performance at enterprise level. Labour inspection training has been carried out. The Government considers a revision of the current legal provisions regarding labour inspectors training and grading.
Process Optimization Consultancies
A process optimization team composed of labour inspectors and other occupational health and safety experts from a multi-national enterprise inspect the suppliers' facilities and consult with enterprise workers' representatives on how to improve the workplace. Implementation of the recommendations given during the enterprise visit, show that both productivity and occupational health and safety performance can be increased with rather small efforts if competent advice was provided.
