Transferring Advanced OSH Model to Mongolia

KOSHA organizes fellowship training program for Mongolian public officials in OSH

 

March 11, 2011

 

From March 7 to 11, 2011, Occupational Safety and Health Training Institute of Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHTI-KOSHA; President: Min-Ki Noh) held fellowship training program for OSH officials from Mongolia.

 

The training program was held under the cooperative framework between Korea and Mongolia, based on the agreement on technical cooperation (MOUs) between the two countries. Twelve officials attended the training, including public officials from the Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour and inspectors from the General Agency for Specialized Inspection (GASI). Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour is in charge of policy making and legislative activities in safety and health. On the other hand, the GASI is a government agency responsible for conducting labor inspections in industrial sites.

 

The curriculum of the training program included 14 different training courses, which are: Korea’s OSH regulations, accident prevention technologies (e.g. safety, health), construction safety, virtual safety training program, technical visits to excellent OSH worksites and so on.

 

“The course on OSH management system in Korea was most impressive. While Mongolia is in the process of establishing regulations related to OSH, it seems that Korea is making multi-faceted efforts to prevent accidents under systematic setting,” said Ms. Magiljav Baljmaa from the Mongolian Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour, who attended the training program.

 

KOSHA concluded an MOU with the Mongolian Ministry of Labour and Inspection in 2003. Since then, there have been various collaborative activities between the two countries including fellowship training program targeting OSH officials, and the transfer of accident prevention know-how through technical consultations. In addition, in September 2010, KOSHA concluded an MOU on OSH with the GASI. KOSHA’s endeavors to enhance OSH levels in Mongolia bore fruit in 2008 when it contributed to the enactment of OSH Act of Mongolia.

 

Director Gye-Wan Bae of International Cooperation Center in KOSHA said, “KOSHA’s efforts to extend technical supports to developing countries in Asia, especially techniques related to accident prevention, have helped it to upgrade its image in international stage. I look forward to further improvements in OSH levels in Mongolia through this training. ”
