- in 2022, AICCRA collaborated with Chuka University to invest in critical safety measures on their farms to make safeguards awareness routine in operations, enhancing protection for workers and protecting the nearby rivers.
In this video, we revisted the farms to see how these safety measures are currently being implemented by Chuka University teams.
Depending on the needs of each university farm, the safety measures introduced included the design and mounting of safety posters, the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE), waste disposal bins, separate and secure storage rooms for agrochemicals, as well as suitable washing and changing rooms.
This partnership demonstrates how development projects-guided by safeguard principles-can contribute to meaningful and sustainable changes to occupational health and safety practices at African research institutions.
