Enhancing Occupational Safety and Health: Comprehensive Reforms Planned

Mr. L. Enkh-Amgalan, Minister for Family, Labour and Social Protection, recently held a meeting with members of the Governing Board of the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions to address critical issues in occupational safety and health.

Key topics included the need to improve the wage system, updating policies, monitori artificial price increases, and ensure effective implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Law across all sectors.

As part of ongoing efforts, a meeting of the Tripartite National Committee for Labour and Social Partnership is scheduled to take place soon. This meeting will be focused on discussing and approving the planned laws and regulations for 2025.

The discussions also emphasized organizing a nationwide inspection to assess the enforcement of labor laws, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health Law.

Measures are being developed to enhance preventive services, strengthen post-accident recovery services processes, and improve the insurance system in the occupational safety and health sector.

The revised draft of the Occupational Safety and Health Law, incorporating suggestions from the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions, will be presented during the spring session of the State Great Khural (Parliament of Mongolia) in 2025. The proposed reforms aim to create a more developed and effective system, ensuring the safety and well-being of workers across the country.
