WHY IS IT HELPFUL TO ORGANIZE A NATIONAL GHS WORKSHOP?
During the initial phase of developing a national implementation strategy countries may consider organizing a national GHS workshop with participation of relevant government ministries, business and industry representatives, and public interest and labour groups. Such workshops can be used as an opportunity to learn more about the technical aspects and a necessary infrastructure for the effective implementation of the GHS, to review the situation and gap analysis and results from comprehensibility testing. The workshops can initiate the development of required legislative reform, sectoral implementation plans and other activities for the GHS implementation and develop a timeline for the GHS implementation.
