Introduction
National Profile on Occupational Safety and
Health
The National Profile on Occupational Safety and Health
is an up-to-date account of the OSH environment
in the Philippines. It thus guides OSH policy and
programme implementation. The development of the
national profile was based on extensive consultations
with key OSH stakeholders; it consolidated information
from the Department of Labour and Employment
(DOLE) surveys on occupational injuries and illnesses,
the Occupational Safety and Health Centre (OSHC)
database of employee compensation claims and various
case studies from different industries.
