structured desk review of legislation, occupational health regulations, and State Labour Inspectorate (SLI) procedures; article-by-article comparative analysis; preparation of concordance
and gap matrices; stakeholder consultations with tripartite partners; and formulation of evidence-based, prioritized legislative and institutional recommendations. • The core
deliverable of the consultancy will be the preparation of a comprehensive National OSH Strategy 2026–2030 and a detailed, time-bound and costed OSH Action Plan 2026–2030, including
measurable objectives, implementation mechanisms, monitoring indicators, and a phased reform roadmap. • The findings and proposed strategic framework will be presented at a validation
workshop with key national stakeholders prior to finalization. If you are interested, please express your interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed Terms of
