ILO adds safety and health to Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

Post by Waterbaby »

../.

10 June 2022 :

"The landmark decision means that all ILO Member States commit to respect and promote the fundamental right to a safe and healthy working environment, whether or not they have ratified the relevant Conventions.

Until now there have been four categories of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work:

freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour;
the effective abolition of child labour;
the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

The decision by the Conference means that Occupational Safety and Health will become the fifth category."

“While the picture is bleak and the outlook uncertain, we must not lose sight of our vision for a better future of work. The hopes and dreams of millions depend on us. We cannot let them down. Together, we must deliver on our promise of a better, fairer, more inclusive, future for all,” said ILO Director-General, Guy Ryder at the opening of the Summit. “We must renew our efforts to create decent work opportunities, especially for the most vulnerable groups,” he added.

So, hope is still the wish? The "doing" never seems to even start!

I suppose, by adding Safety and Health as number 5 to the list, :| someone, somewhere, sometime may just stand up and "do".
