difficult The communication and general awareness of OSH is not asstrongg as it needs to be.
•Some provinces and cities have not committed sufficient
resources and attention to the management of OH activities andpreventing of occupational diseases.

•

Funding for occupational health activities is limited.

 OSH legal system has not kept pace with the rapid changes in
the country’s economic-social sectors, revealing limitations
