This document summarizes a project funded by the Netherlands embassy in Turkey that aims to improve occupational safety and health in the Turkish metal sector. The project provides trainings to train 20 trainers from various project partners, including labor unions and employers associations. These trainers will then deliver 5 field trainings of 5 days each to 150 workers, employers, and health service providers to raise awareness of new health and safety laws and regulations and best practices. The goals are to develop collaboration between industries and health centers and disseminate effective practices across sectors in Turkey. So far the training materials have been developed in both English and Turkish and 5 field trainings have been successfully completed.
