Context
The package on the Essentials of Occupational Safety
and Health (EOSH) was launched by the Programme
for Employers’ Activities of the International Training
Centre of the ILO in 2013.
Since then, through a number of capacity building
projects supported by ITC ILO with slightly different
scope and duration, 20 employers’ organizations in
Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe have
reinforced their training offer on OSH or have built up
new OSH training services using or partially using the
EOSH package.
In the years 2014-15 more than 400 courses have
been autonomously organized by the 20 employers’
organizations involved in the project reaching out
to at least 8000 mid-level managers (supervisors)
and workers. The package has been translated into
a number of languages Chinese, Bengali, French,
Arabic, Russian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Spanish,
gaining the interest of employers’ organizations and
affiliated companies across four continents.
The strategy used to promote the EOSH courses
and identify the key target group and the choice
on the training paths varied to great extent from
country to country. Also the use of the package was
quite different ranging from duly following ITC ILO
guidelines to a “pick and choose” approach taking
out from EOSH package selected materials. But this
is exactly the nature of the EOSH package, which
want to be a kind of open library with flexible training
aids, easy access and possibility of customizations to
meet the needs of affiliated company members in the
most effective way.
On top of it since the end of 2015, the ITC ILO
has been investing for the development of a second
edition of the EOSH package, including:
• a brand new, much more user-friendly trainer’s
guide;
• two new modules on “Muscle Skeletal
Disorders” and “Effective functioning of OSH
Committee at enterprise level”; these two topics
were identified as relevant by accredited EOSH
trainers (and still missing in the first version of
the package);
• new cartoons, videos and case studies;
• enhanced technological offer - with possibility
to run the animations previously contained
in “SAFE COMPANY DVD” in a much more
effective way for face to face courses.
It is now the right time to launch with selected
employers’ organizations the second edition of the
EOSH package. In this context we are organizing the
event in Bangkok which will be a unique opportunity
to exchange with peers on one side on the strategy
used to market the courses including promotional
material, pricing, segmentation of the audience,
design of the training path, and on the other side to
discuss how and which components of the EOSH
package were introduced in the training delivery
/ methodology and which is the feedback of the
companies which attended the training.
Additionally the new modules of the second edition
will be presented together with some suggestions and
guidance on how to make best use of EOSH package
in the framework of experimented modern training
techniques.
Main objective of the EOSH project
• Provide further support to employers’
organizations using the EOSH package to
reinforce their training services on the Essentials
of Occupational Safety and Health, targeting
member-companies so as to increase their
reputation as service providers in the OSH area
and help generate stable income.
• Improve safety and health conditions for
supervisors and workers through access to a
top quality, practical and easy to- use training
package.
