Welcome to this new on-line clearing facility on workers' health in the Caribbean.  

 

The function of this site is to provide information and knowledge regarding the status of Workers' Health in the  Caribbean Community's (CARICOM) member states. 

This project was mandated by the Caribbean in Cooperation Health Phase II (CCH-II). In 1979, the CARICOM ministers responsible for Health approved the Caribbean Environmental Health Strategy in an attempt to address the environmental health hazards that threatened the population in the Caribbean region.  A key element for the strategy was the establishment of the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (CEHI).

With the development of Caribbean in Cooperation Health Phase II (CCH-II), CEHI was given the overall responsibility for coordinating the regional initiatives for the priority area of Environmental Health. One of the objectives for the sub-priority area, Workers' Health, was to establish an on-line clearing house facility on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) linked to CEHI's website: please visit www.cehi.org.lc
