From July 19 to 21, a virtual bilateral cooperation exchange took place between Belize and Barbados on occupational safety and health, considering the upcoming approval of an OSH Bill in Belize. During three days, personnel from the Ministry of Labor of Belize received complete and comprehensive advice from the Ministry of Labor of Barbados on the planning and management of inspections from an OSH perspective. The training included aspects such as the management and implementation of an inspection plan, types of risks at work, tools for adequate inspection, types of inspections by sector, management of chemical residues, conducting investigations, and the role of social actors. As a second component, Barbados shared relevant information for the implementation of the law, such as graphic materials to raise awareness among the population and manuals, among others.
This activity was selected within the framework of the 13th RIAL/OAS Open Call in 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.
