This subcomponent supports countries to update or draft occupational health and safety legislation; review and/or develop guidelines for mine health inspections, occupational health screening protocols, and compensation systems and guidelines; develop information technology (IT) systems for compliance monitoring and mine health surveillance; and provide equipment for mine health inspection.
While strengthening the supply side of regulatory services, the subcomponent will remove policy and service delivery barriers that negatively impact health seeking behaviors of miners, ex-miners, and households in peri-mining areas. The project will finance technical assistance, equipment, minor civil works related to the use or installation of equipment for mine health inspection, and operational expenses.
