newly created employment should be safe. Occupational safety and
health (OSH) and environmental issues should be integrated in the
strategy for employment creation: employment creation policy

Need
for a strong national Programme on OSH, to be launched in parallel
with government economic development plan and employment creation
strategy
Importance
of establishing OSH Management System as an integral part of
business management: popularity of ISO 9000, 14000 and relevance of
ILO-OSH 2001
