The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), in collaboration with the Labour Ministry, have launched a four-day project and workshop initiative aimed at modernising and strengthening Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) systems across Guyana.

The initiative aligns with the country’s 2025-2030 Decent Work Country Programme, which seeks to ensure that Guyana’s rapid economic growth is supported by safe working conditions and stronger labour institutions.

Speaking at the programme, which was launched on Tuesday, ILO’s Social Protection and Occupational Safety and Health Specialist, Ariel Pino, explained that the initiative is aimed at supporting the country’s tripartite constituents while ultimately strengthening the occupational safety and health sector in Guyana.
