INTRODUCTION
Of the total 3 billion workers in the world, more than 80% work and live without
having access to occupational health services (OHS). This in spite of the fact that
several authoritative bodies, including the International Labour Organization (ILO),
the World Health Organization (WHO) and numerous professional organizations
and the organizations of workers have, already for several decades, emphasized
the need for services. The coverage, i.e. the proportion of workers and workplaces
with access to services, is today diminishing rather than expanding. The ILO
Convention No. 161 on Occupational Health Services and the WHO Global
Strategy on Occupational Health for All call for the organization of services to all
working people of the world. We are still far from this goal, and it is not likely that
the coverage will essentially expand without concerted efforts. To address the new
safety and health needs the WHO has launched a new Global Plan of Action on
Workers' Health and the ILO has produced a Global Strategy on Occupational
safety and Health and the ILO Convention No. 187 on Promotional Framework.
The introduction of the concept of Basic Occupational Health
Services (BOHS) has its roots in the WHO Alma Ata
Declaration from the year 1978, which spells in article VI:
"Primary health care is essential health care based on
practical, scientifically sound and socially acceptable
methods......It is the first level of contact of individuals, the
family and community with the national health system bringing
health care as close as possible to where people live and
work..........".
STRATEGY BACKGROUND OF BOHS
Sistem keseluruhan secara nasional untuk layanan kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja
menentukan bentuk organisasi sistem infrastruktur BOHS. BOHS merupakan bagian
interaksi baik secara organisasi atau fungsional. Misalnya, peran administrator
kesehatan menjadi lebih menonjol apabila layanan kesehatan kerja termasuk ke
Departemen Kesehatan. Masalah utama bukanlah dari betuknya melainkan
ketersediaan dan fungsionalitas dari sistemnya sehingga kebutuhan kesehatan dan
keselamatan pekerja di semua sektor dan setiap tempat kerja ditangani secara
memadai.
Infrastruktur BOHS memiliki karakteristik sebagai berikut:
1. Merupakan bagian dari infrastruktur terpadu untuk kesehatan dan keamanan
2. Dapat dilakukan oleh beberapa jenis unit layanan
3. Berkolaborasi dan mengambil dukungan dari perawatan kesehatan primer
4. Berkolaborasi dengan layanan keselamatan
5. Di bentuk khusus untuk melayani tempat kerja yang kecil dan kurang terlayani
ACTIVITIES AND CONTENT OF BOHS
According to the ILO Convention No. 161 on Occupational Health Services, the
financial responsibility for the provision of occupational health services rests on
the employer. As the ability of the SMEs and the self-employed, and particularly
the informal sector enterprises and workers, to buy external services is poor or
non-existent, often the only possibility to provide services is the provision of
BOHS by the public sector, i.e. the primary health care units, public polyclinics
or by social security organizations. In some countries, special external OHS are
well developed and the OHS units can provide services through the market
mechanism to all enterprises and workplaces that wish to get them.
ACTORS IN THE ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOHS
The overall responsibility to ensure occupational health services for all working people
belongs to the Government. In well-organized sectors the employer is responsible for the
organization and financing of services. The Government's competent authority controls the
compliance of employers according to national law and practice.
In addition to the government's competent authority, the following partners can contribute to
and should be involved in the activity, when appropriate:
• Government's special agencies in occupational safety and health and in the health sector
• Provincial and local municipal authorities
• Social partners, employers' organizations and trade unions
• Branch organizations and chambers of commerce
• Associations of agricultural producers and small enterprises
• Associations of occupational health professionals
• Safety representatives of local workplaces and communities
• Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Industry
• Universities and other training institutions for training support
