Abstract

Background

The reoccurrence of occupational accidents in Sudan is evidence of a lack of effective Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) governance in Sudan.

Methods

This scope review research articles on OSH governance in Sudan from different sources, including international websites, official government websites, original research articles in journals, and various reports. The five stages of the scoping review followed in this study are: identifying the research question; identifying relevant studies; study selection; charting the data; collating, summarizing, and reporting the results.

Results

There is numerous legislation in place; however, there is no evidence of their enforcement, and no formal bodies at the national level are identified as being responsible for their enforcement.

Conclusion

Having multiple authorities with overlapping responsibilities hinders OSH governance. An integrated governance model is proposed to eliminate overlapping duties and to facilitate the participation of all stakeholders in the governance process.

对苏丹职业健康和安全治理的范围审查:迄今为止的情况

背景苏丹职业事故的反复发生证明苏丹缺乏有效的职业健康与安全治理。方法本研究综述了来自不同来源的关于苏丹职业健康安全治理的研究文章，包括国际网站、官方政府网站、期刊上的原创研究文章和各种报告。本研究的范围审查分为五个阶段:确定研究问题;确定相关研究;研究选择;绘制数据图;整理、总结和报告结果。结果:有许多立法;但是，没有证据表明这些规定得到了执行，也没有确定国家一级的正式机构负责执行这些规定。结论多个部门职责重叠阻碍职业安全卫生治理。提出了一个集成的治理模型，以消除重叠的职责，并促进所有利益相关者参与治理过程。

期刊介绍： Safety and Health at Work (SH@W) is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published quarterly in English beginning in 2010. The journal is aimed at providing grounds for the exchange of ideas and data developed through research experience in the broad field of occupational health and safety. Articles may deal with scientific research to improve workers'' health and safety by eliminating occupational accidents and diseases, pursuing a better working life, and creating a safe and comfortable working environment. The journal focuses primarily on original articles across the whole scope of occupational health and safety, but also welcomes up-to-date review papers and short communications and commentaries on urgent issues and case studies on unique epidemiological survey, methods of accident investigation, and analysis. High priority will be given to articles on occupational epidemiology, medicine, hygiene, toxicology, nursing and health services, work safety, ergonomics, work organization, engineering of safety (mechanical, electrical, chemical, and construction), safety management and policy, and studies related to economic evaluation and its social policy and organizational aspects. Its abbreviated title is Saf Health Work.
