Provision of Service by Consultancy Firm Assessment of drivers and constraints for occupational safety and health (OSH) in the Construction Sector in Egypt (Албания - Тендер #65672662)

The consultancy is expected to achieve the following objective:
1)
Assess drivers and constraints for OSH improvement in the Egyptian construction sector using the ILO methodology Assessment of drivers and constraints for OSH improvement in global value chains and intervention design.
In particular, the assessment will follow the following three steps:
a.
Conduct a mapping of the selected supply chain(s) and its market environment, which will be used for sampling key informants and workplaces to observe.
b.
Conduct a Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of the sector which will include a focus on occupational safety and health (hazards and risks as well as prevention, protection, promotion and compensation practices).
c.
Recommend the right combination of public and private interventions for OSH improvement in the sector.
The assessment should identify the OSH risks faced by workers at the sector of production by developing vulnerability profiles; which are defined as the characteristics of specific groups of workers putting in relation exposure to occupational hazards and risks with factors that make workers more likely to be exposed to such hazards and risks and / or with low capacity to cope with the consequences of such exposure. Such factors include other key elements of decent work, in particular:
"
Effective access to OSH services (services for the identification, measurement and control of hazards, occupational health services, training on OSH, etc.);
"
Status in employment;
"
Working conditions, especially working hours, wage structure, etc.
"
Effective social protection coverage (especially those schemes that can affect the incidence of workplace accidents such as health, sickness, maternity protection and employment injury insurance);
"
Level of organisation of employers, workers, producers.
The assessments need to take into consideration livelihood challenges caused by climate change, including heat stress; as well as to carefully consider the gender aspects and vulnerable groups.
