Occupational Safety and Health Authority and Agency

Occupational Safety and Health Authority and Agency This implies an organisation that will be considered reliable, communicative and accountable, with a high impact and a good image.

The OSH Agency, the enforcing body for the OSH legislation (OSH Act and OSH regulations), is vested with legal powers for its inspectors to access all industrial establishments, acquire any information needed to carry out investigations and to use its legal intervention powers. As an enforcement body, the main objective of the OSH Agency is to ensure compliance with the OSH Act in accordance with

our enforcement policy that encourages voluntary compliance in the first instance. Therefore public awareness raising, the involvement and sensitization of tripartite partners and other stakeholders are considered critical in promoting a preventative safety and health culture in Trinidad and Tobago. Close co-operation with other ministries and institutions, as well as supporting OSH training structures and the provision of accessible OSH information are also essential to OSHA's mandate. One of the targets for the OSH Agency is to continuously work towards the building and sustaining of a modern, efficient, effective and highly professional Safety and Health Inspection Service that meets international standards.
