The Kenya National Cleaner Production Centre is playing active role in building national
capacity in occupational health and safety. Since the year 2003, the Centre has integrated
occupational health and safety issues in its programs especially the Cleaner Production
and Environmental Audits. It has assisted a total of 85 enterprises train staff and
implements occupational health and safety (OHS) programs. The Centre also runs a 3-
day training of trainers program in OHS and is involved in supply chain management
where the issues of Material Safety Data Sheets are discussed. Among the key
challenges in this program is to create enough human capacity to assist enterprises
develop and implement safety programs. Thus, much of the Centre’s focus in the future
will be to mount a “learning-by-doing” training program for Consultants.
