ACTION AREAS:
16. Development into national health strategies, health-sector reforms and plans for improving healthsystems performance; determining standards for organization and coverage of occupational health services; setting targets for increasing the coverage of the working population with occupational health services; creating mechanisms for pooling resources and for financing the delivery of occupational health services; ensuring sufficient and competent human resources; and establishing qualityassurance systems. Basic occupational health services should be provided for all workers, including those in the informal economy, small enterprises, and agriculture.
17. Core institutional capacities should be built at national and local levels in order to provide technical support for basic occupational health services, in terms of planning, monitoring and quality of service delivery, design of new interventions, dissemination of information, and provision of specialized expertise.
18. Development of human resources for workers’ health should be further strengthened by: further postgraduate training in relevant disciplines; building capacity for basic occupational health services; incorporating workers’ health in the training of primary health care practitioners and other professionals needed for occupational health services; creating incentives for attracting and retaining human resources for workers’ health, and encouraging the establishment of networks of services and professional associations. Attention should be given not only to postgraduate but also to basic training for health professionals in various fields such as promotion of workers’ health and the prevention and treatment of workers’ health problems. This should be a particular priority in primary health care.
19. WHO will provide guidance to the Member States for the development of basic packages, information products, tools and working methods, and models of good practice for occupational health services. It will also stimulate international efforts for building the necessary human and institutional capacities.

Summary of the project	The Basic Occupational Health, BOHS, approach was developed for expanding coverage of occupational health services for underserved workers and workers without access to occupational health services so far. Basic occupational health services will be implemented in collaboration with Member Countries, their CCs and other Health Institutions, including Professional Associations. The main target groups will primarily be the workers in small-scale enterprises, agriculture, self-employed and informal sector and other underserved groups. The BOHS will use support from primary health care organizations, where appropriate. The BOHS development will be supported by providing policy and strategy advice, drawing up national OHS Profiles, organizing training of trainer’s courses, supporting pilot projects and providing practical guidelines for BOHS. A special learning platform including BOHS learning materials, will be generated as a separate project (see Prof. Frank van Dijk Report on e-Learning Platform ).
Target group and/or beneficiaries	Policy decision-makers, Social Partners, Trainers and educators in occupational health, Professional Associations, OHS personnel. All so far underserved groups and populations of workers, particularly small enterprises and their workers, agricultural workers, informal sector workers, migrant workers
Events-opportunities for furthering the project	National Strategy and National Programme projects, National surveys and Profiles of OHS situation. National high level seminars, expert seminars and training of trainers courses, training courses, pilot projects, evaluation projects and services provision development projects. International Congresses like ICOH 2009 and 2012.
Indicators of achievement (impact)	Inclusion of BOHS into National Strategies and Programmes, Produced OHS Profiles, Numbers of Seminars and Courses, Numbers of trained trainers, Numbers of course participants, Numbers of completed and evaluated pilot projects
Public health impact	Inclusion of BOHS into National Strategies and Programmes Access to services for target groups and for underserved sectors and groups of workers. Workers constitute over half of the population in any country and in many countries more than half of them work in hazardous conditions, without access to preventive and protective services. Their health and work ability will be improved by organizing effective occupational health services at grassroots level. OHS needs of agricultural workers and migrant workers in particular will be considered.
Funding source(s)	For smaller part WHO and WHO Regional Offices/Country Offices Target Countries, MoHs
Dissemination	Periodic regional or global traning courses and seminars will be organized to share experiences and evaluate the outcomes. Reports on national strategies, programmes and pilot projects will be published. Countries may decide on expansion of BOHS beyond pilot areas.

Summary of the project (max 100 words)	In 2008, WHO launched a set of reforms to provide primary health care to all citizens. This process provides ample opportunities to scale up occupational health services using the values and principles of primary health care. This project aims to summarize the experience gained so far in integrating occupational health into primary health care and to outline policy options for scaling up occupational health services. In particular, the project will collect and review case studies from different countries and regions in linking occupational health to primary health care and will develop methodological basis for assessing the performance of national health systems in the area of workers' health.
