Recognizing the need to address various OSH global issues, the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) granted the ILO's request to implement a global project that will address various OSH issues workers are confronted with. The Philippines was identified as one of the pilot countries apart from Viet Nam and Myanmar.
The project will focus on young workers aged 15 to 24 years old in the construction, manufacturing and agriculture sectors. It will work with stakeholders to attain the four components of the project, namely:
- ensuring the availability and effective utilization of comprehensive, relevant and quality OSH data and information;
- strengthening national OSH legislation, regulations and policies;
- enhancing capacities to monitor working conditions and enforce OSH laws, policies, regulations; and
- increasing awareness and knowledge of the particular hazards and risks faced by young workers.
The social and civic partners of the project are the trade unions/workers', employers', and youth-led and youth-based organizations.
