13. Global review and staff guidance on labor influx issues A guidance note for staff has been prepared by a working group and internal review was completed on October 4, 2016. Consultation with external public and private sector stakeholders will be completed by November 15, 2016. The guidance note will be issued and staff training will be initiated by December 1, 2016. Based on the above guidance, a portfolio-wide review of projects across the Bank will be conducted to ensure that pertinent issues are being appropriately addressed where they arise. All Task Team leaders will be required to review civil works contracts that they manage with a view to (i) the size and characteristics of any labor influx; (ii) the existence and implementation of any mitigation measures in the environmental and social management plan; and (iii) whether problems identified in the environmental and social management plan or similar to those arising under the TSDP have arisen, or are likely to A guidance note for staff “Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts on Communities from Temporary Project Induced Labor Influx” was issued by December 1, 2016, and disseminated to all Bank operational staff. Based on the above guidance, a portfolio-wide review of projects across the Bank is being carried out to ensure that pertinent issues are being appropriately addressed where they arise. The review is expected to be completed in April 2017. To complement the Guidance Note, a resource web site was established for staff to access key documents, such as codes of practice for preparing Traffic Management plans, and examples of key documents. An approach for implementing effective “Codes of Conduct” by companies to address GBV and violence against children (VAC) has been developed and is being pilot tested in three Pacific Island companies. A draft Guidance Note has been prepared to improve occupational health and safety implementation and will be pilot tested in the second quarter of 2017. Efforts are underway to develop standard reporting requirements for occupational health and safety on projects.
