National Consultant to Research on National System for Recording and Notification of Occupational Accidents and Diseases in Cambodia

with International Labour Organisation

BTDC-ID: 33757

Closing Date: 22-Mar-2025

Announcement Description

Reliable occupational safety and health (OSH) data are essential for developing informed policies and programs to ensure a safe working environment. Such data help detect new hazards, identify risky sectors, and measure progress. The ILO's fundamental Conventions No. 155 and No. 187 require member states to establish procedures for notifying occupational accidents and diseases and to include mechanisms for data collection and analysis in their national OSH systems.

The Protocol of 2002 to the Occupational Safety and Health Convention outlines basic requirements for recording and notifying occupational accidents, diseases, and dangerous occurrences. The code of practice provides additional guidance for setting up these systems. Collecting reliable OSH data is also a commitment under the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, specifically for reporting against SDG indicator 8.8.1.

Despite these requirements, data on occupational accidents and diseases are often incomplete due to deficiencies in recording and notification systems. Under-reporting is common, and many national systems fail to cover all workers, particularly in small enterprises, informal sectors, and developing countries.

The ILO project "Promoting a Safe and Healthy Working Environment in Thailand and Cambodia" aims to address these issues by promoting OSH as a fundamental right, with a focus on emerging risks like mental health. The project seeks external collaborator(s) or consulting firm to conduct research on national recording and notification systems in Cambodia to identify best practices and support improvements at the national level.
