OSHC orients on safety standards during the DOLE-LHP in Iloilo & Capiz

The Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) conducted an orientation on the key points of the OSH standards during the seminar on labor relation, human relation, and productivity (LHP) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) - Regional Office 6 in Iloilo and Capiz last Mar. 14 & 17, 2017.

The seminar is DOLE’s contribution in the labor education and advocacy aspect to address the challenge of business competitiveness in the workplace. It is a one-day course for employees, supervisors/employers or mixed employees and employers/supervisors. 

Melveen Melocoton, OSHC-REU6 Administrative Officer, emphasized that in order to attain good relationships and better productivity, organizations must safeguard the safety and health of its workers. It is through a company's strong OSH policies and OSH committee that industrial peace and productivity can be fully achieved.

"The OSHC is willing to provide technical assistance and capacity building activities to align company OSH policies with the OSH Standards."

Schedules on training like the 40-hours mandated Basic Occupational Safety and Health (BOSH) and the Construction Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) are conducted monthly in Iloilo City and Bacolod City to cater the demands of companies in acquiring competent safety officers.

The OSHC will improve its collaboration with the DOLE-RO6 to further strengthen OSH policies and programs, provide quality OSH services, and expand linkages with stakeholders that support the zero accident (ZAP) program in the region. // MM
