The majority of work-related deaths and accidents in the world happen in #ASIA. This must be stopped. Workers must be guaranteed safe and healthy working conditions. This #IWMD22, we say, “Recognise #OSH as a fundamental ILO right at work!”

« Si la question de la santé et de la sécurité au travail devient un droit fondamental de l’OIT, les gouvernements et les employeurs auront une plus grande responsabilité pour mettre fin à cette hécatombe, et les syndicats et les représentants de la sécurité au travail auront davantage de poids. Seuls les mauvais employeurs s’opposeront à cette mesure et nous sommes prêts à nous battre pour sauver des vies. »

Sharan Burrow, la secrétaire générale de la CSI.
