International Workers’ Memorial Day will be marked in Azerbaijan by the BWI affiliate TSEI HIRK which is organising an occupational health and safety workshop for forestry workers.
As part of BWI’s campaign to persuade the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to recognise occupational health and safety as a fundamental right, the Azerbaijan Building and Construction Workers Union (Ishaat-IS) has signed joint declarations with two different construction companies in Azerbaijan on the importance of safe and healthy workplaces.
A week before this year’s International Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April, more than 70 declarations have already been signed both by trade unions and employers worldwide. #SaveLivesAtWork#IWMD21
