The document outlines an awareness campaign led by BOHS to address the high incidence of occupational diseases, particularly in the construction industry. With approximately 13,000 deaths and 1.2 million people suffering from work-related illnesses annually, the campaign emphasizes the importance of clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and developing effective solutions through occupational hygiene. Key strategies include planning, focusing on specific issues like respiratory diseases, and collaborating with various stakeholders to promote the value of occupational health.
