Since the introduction of the national programme,
there has been a noticeable increase in OSH awareness
among employers and workers in Lao PDR. This is
evident in the progress made by the employers in
implementing good OSH practices. Figures 2–3 show
examples of improvements carried out by employers and
workers after attending WISCON and WISE training
workshops. The participants started with simple, lowcost
improvements by using available materials with the
intention of stepping up the level of change in a step-bystep
manner.
