A cluster of the ILO Moscow "Poverty reduction, employment promotion and local economic development in the North West Federal Okrug of the Russian Federation"
The Project is funded by Government of Finland
Whereas the overall objective is the reduction of poverty, skills development for increased employment and secure conditions of work and life, the immediate objective for the OSH cluster is improved working conditions for men and women working in the Northwest Okrug giving them a safe and decent working life.
Safe working conditions is a part of normal quality and production management. Providing adequate working conditions is an investment in the human resources and skills of the work force at the enterprise, in quality and productivity and not an extra cost. On the contrary, poor working environment costs money for the enterprise and the society in the form of increased costs of hazard pay and added leave for work force employed in sub-standard working conditions, for personal protective equipment, for compensation costs for accidents and diseases and lost days of production and quality. Furthermore, hazardous working conditions can lead to personal disasters, loss of family members, social exclusion and child labour.
The execution of the OSH project, with its components of social partnership, good governance and rule of law, is further diminishing the decent work and life gap at the Finnish border, being the border between the European Union and Russian Federation.
