Training on EBRD Performance Requirement 2 (PR2), “Labour and Working Conditions,” for the General Contractor and Subcontractors.
Development of a Tailored Training Programme:
Adapting materials to your project’s specific characteristics, the scale of construction / production activities and previously identified risks.
Module for Management and the General Contractor (Management and Oversight):
- EBRD requirements for cascading PR2 requirements throughout the subcontracting chain.
- Mandatory PR2 terms and clauses in subcontractor agreements.
- Methodology for conducting internal inspections and audits of subcontractors.
- Procedures for responding to serious violations, including forced or child labour, delayed wage payments and lack of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Module for HR and Personnel Teams (Workers’ Rights and Working Conditions):
- Ensuring equal opportunities and preventing discrimination.
- Prohibiting harassment, gender-based harassment and workplace mobbing (Anti-Harassment Policy).
- Regulating working hours, overtime pay and recording rest periods in accordance with the Labour Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and PR2.
- Implementing and managing an internal Worker Grievance Mechanism.
Module on Occupational Health and Safety and Living Conditions (HSE & Living Conditions):
- Workplace safety standards and the provision of suitable, high-quality PPE.
- Requirements for subcontractors’ worker accommodation camps and welfare facilities, including food, water supply, sanitation and fire safety in accordance with EBRD / IFC standards.
Practical Exercises and Assessment:
Reviewing real case studies, including Non-Conformity Reports (NCRs), conducting end-of-course assessments and issuing certificates bearing participants’ names.
What the client receives:
- Trained personnel and contractors: a shared understanding of EBRD requirements at all levels, from project managers to site supervisors.
- Reduced risk of bank findings: minimising PR2 violations identified during inspections by the EBRD and independent ESDD auditors.
- A complete set of materials: presentations, worker guidance sheets in two / three languages (Russian, Kazakh and English), and subcontractor inspection checklist templates.
- Documentary evidence: training registers and certificates that can be submitted to the bank as evidence of ESAP implementation.
