The following topics were covered:
Speaking to the inaugural session the Secretary Labour and Human Resource Development Sindh Mr Saeed Ahmed Awan, paid immense gratitude to ILO on making such much sought after capacity building opportunities accessible to the front runners [read Labour Inspectors] of the department. Mr Awan emphasising the importance of OSH informed the gathering that very soon a comprehensive law on OSH would be promulgated in the province of Sindh. Mr Awan accrued great homage to Ingrid Christensen for taking time out from being in such an administratively engaging position [i.e. Director of CO Islamabad] and prioritising the OSH training within her busy schedule. Mr Awan also hoped that the opportunity of having Ingrid Christensen to deliver the subject training should means a lot for Labour Inspectors for having the chance to directly access a valuable resource pool accumulated by decades long first-hand experience of OSH earned internationally. The Secretary Labour Sindh also emphasized the need of further institutional collaboration [between ILO and DoL Sindh] in order to intensify and upscale OSH capacity building program.
Ms Ingrid Christensen, CD, ILO CO Islamabad and lead trainer of the training in her key note address acknowledged the efforts made by DoL Sindh in this very important area of OSH, particularly, after the catastrophic incident of Baldia Factory Fire. She very warmly welcomed the news of a standalone pioneering law on OSH in Sindh and hoped that other provinces shall soon be following their footsteps. On this point Ms Ingrid also highlighted the importance of collection and use of OSH data and referred the quotations of Director General ILO as “Accurate data will help to save lives”. Ms Christensen, concluded her address by reassuring DoL Sindh that ILO CO Islamabad wishes a further stronger and deeper collaboration with the DoL Sindh in order to help achieve jointly set targets under the Decent Work Country Program 2015-20.
