AU-OSHIS
African Union Occupational Safety and Health Information System
About
Health Monitoring and Surveillance of Professionals
The OSHIS was developed to better decision making processes for improving employee health and workplace safety across countries. The OSHIS was built to enhance linkages between different stakeholders by using data for decision-making. Powered by DHIS2, the platform is designed to support the whole information cycle from data collection to data reporting.
Modules
Our OSHIS system is equipped with a range of modules to comprehensively address occupational safety and health information needs:
Mine Profiling
Gives insights into the industry profile looking at the workforce size, commodities, geographical coverage, and more.
Workplace Assessment
Empowers governments to identify, track and mitigate potential hazards, ensuring that employees work in safer environments.
Employee Health
Helps to manage employees health by tracking in one-stop their clinical and physical state.
Regional Information System for Occupational Safety and Health
The regional occupational safety and health information system is designed to extract, process and aggregate key performance indicators from the industry safety and health across the countries using OSHIS for analysis and with the aim to track the Africa Mining Vision and various RECs protocols UHC, SDG, and UNHL commitments. Developed to support pragmatic research for policy reforms in the region and continent.
Regional authorities can easily and timely track performance trends from different countries in order to adjust and implement regulations and norms to the occupational safety and health domain.
Sustainability
By having its base on an open-source software platform it allows for continuous support from a large group of contributors across the globe, and with access to free material on its use and configuration, the implementation of OSHIS is guaranteed to be sustainable.
Interoperability
The OSHIS is equipped with a multi-layered architecture interface that allows other systems to pull and share data with the system. This means that the platform can easily integrate to existing digital ecosystems in different countries and/or organizations.
Ownership
Each country has its own “instance” of the OSHIS platform with full ownership of the application and the data contained within it. A crucial aspect of OSHIS implementation is that data ownership rests with each institution using the software.
