#artisanalminers #silicosis #tb #occupationalhealth #ohs Day 1/4 outreach set up for TB and silicosis onsite screening in artisanal & small scale miners in Kwekwe district. Reaching out to the ASMs who are at high risk of TB and silicosis under the KNTB project- funded by USAID.

Artisanal and small scale miners (ASMs) are at high risk of TB, Silicosis and Occupational lung diseases. Free screening ongoing under the KN-TB project-Kwekwe , Shurugwi. #occupationalhealth #endtb #silicosis #artisanalmining @uzt @jointedhands @hospaz @ntp @mohcc

Health Policy Specialist Chimwemwe Chamdimba @CChamdimba was interviewed by @CapitalFMKenya on the recent World Day for Safety and Health at Work webinar, & the importance of occupational safety and health at work place. #AfricaResponds ➡️ capitalfm.co.ke/news/2020/04/o…

@bainesohs #Mentalhealth workplace programs directly impact the bottom line & make good business sense #

OSH practice has gathered momentum in Africa. Capacity development of OSH practitioners/professionals and inspectors, doctors and nurses is scaling up in Lesotho. University partnerships remain key in training. Recent training and exploration of collaboarations in OSH

TB remains a major challenge to workers in the mining industry where exposure to silica obtaining dust increases the risk of TB infection by about three fold. A combination of exposure to silica containing dust and HIV increases this risk by at least 15 fold. # Lung Health

“Innovations in Addressing Longstanding Safety and Health Challenges” is one of the topics at #WorldCongress2020. We are now accepting abstracts for the opportunity to speak at symposia sessions or present posters on this topic. safety2020canada.com/abstracts

@WorldCongressCA Excellent! Will surely meet there!

@ehi_iden Let's elevate the OSH agenda and spread it world wide. Global access levels to OSH need to go far beyond the meager 15%!!

At the United Nations Office in Vienna. A lot running through my mind, the world is connected at this point. #hopeful

Next week is @Wos2019N - conference on safety at work and accident prevention. Will tweet a lot when not presenting or having the chair at my session - just to warn you upfront 📲📯 Who will join me? @georg2540 @ehi_iden @lwjom

Dr Dingani Moyo: The way forward: 1) we need a national OHS framework 2) provide on-site services, 3) adopt the BOHS Concept 4) capacitate primary health services. #NEPADCoP2019

Dr Dingani Moyo @WitsUniversity lecturer gives his views on OHS among artisanal and small scale miners. “Small scale miners are the most vulnerable to TB, HIV & Silica dust exposure. They are a severely compromised population”. #NEPADCoP2019

Dr Dingani Moyo: Children, pregnant women and the elderly have also become vulnerable to exposure - We need to start looking at occupational diseases from a different perspective. #NEPADCoP2019

@HealthFocusSA @CChamdimba @SATBHSS_Project @Nkuzi_Khoza @ReiprichG Absolutely. Good OSH practice must be supported by good regulatory frameworks

Recommended mining regulatory framework should include an overarching #OSH Law followed by Regulations & then Guidlines and codes @SATBHSS_Project @SATBHSS_Project @Nkuzi_Khoza @CChamdimba
