Special Session 5 Development of Basic Occupational Health Services

Session introduction
Good quality support in occupational safety and health is not available for 85 % of all workers. Many workers are threatened by hazardous working conditions, especially informal workers, workers in agriculture, in small companies, in urban industry areas, and self-employed. Primary and community/public health care can provide Basic Occupational Health Services. Good education in OS is needed, OSH expert support, referral clinics, a national infrastructure inclusive financial resources and online facilities. Evaluation studies and international collaboration can stimulate quality and coverage. Mutual contact, coordination and visible leadership must be improved. Initiatives in several countries will be presented. Developments in other countries and in agriculture will be communicated.
