Prior to 2001, the main programme in Thailand to
encourage enterprises towards better OSH performance
was the National OSH Award. This award evaluates a
company’s performance in four areas – i) occupational
safety, health and environmental management policy;
ii) safety management and prevention of accidents;
iii) occupational health management and protection;
and iv) environmental management. Thailand in 2001
recognized a need to enhance the programme to further
motivate companies to focus on reducing occupational
accidents and inspire more enterprises to imitate their
performance.
