The National Occupational Safety and Health Policy
Kenya, Ministry of Health
Kenya does not have a national occupational safety and health policy. This has led to uncoordinated implementation of occupational safety and health programmes and duplication of efforts in implementing such programmes. Therefore, this policy was designed with the main objective to establish national occupational safety and health systems and programmes geared towards the improvement of the work environment. The policy seeks to reduce the number of work-related accidents and diseases, and equitably provide compensation and rehabilitation to those injured at work or who contract occupational diseases
