General Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) has been adopted by the Standards and Metrology Institute for the Islamic Countries (SMIIC) as the OIC/SMIIC 5 standard.
Voting on the adoption of General Guidelines on OSH as an OIC/SMIIC standard was completed on 7 April 2017 by SMIIC member states, and accumulated enough votes to be adopted as an OIC/SMIIC 5 standard.
The approved final draft of the standard was prepared by the OIC Network for Occupational Safety and Health (OIC-OSHNET) and the relevant studies for standardisation were taken by SMIIC upon request of the labour ministers of OIC Member States during the 3rd Islamic Conference on Labour Ministers (ICLM) which was held in Jakarta in 2015.
