2.assessment of the traumatic hazards of workingconditions (mechanical factors);
3.evaluation of safety of production equipment (PES);
4.assessment of the provision of PPE;
5.assessment of morbidity and medical examinations;
6.training evaluation.

1. of the workplace depending on the degree ofoccupational risk;
2. PPE depending on the degree of occupational riskof the workplace;
3. insurance rates depending on the degree ofoccupational risk of the employee's workplace;

INTEGRATED

4. social guarantees depending on the occupationalrisk of the job.

FRAMEWORK FOR
OSH COMPONENTS
4. Digital Transformation –Establishing a Unified Information
System
1. developing a Comprehensive Business Digital
Mapping;
2. shifting towards proactive service delivery
paradigm;
3. promoting social dialogue through internal andpublic control.

3. Revamped State Control Framework:
Ensuring Compliance and Safety
