Indonesian Launch of the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Forestry Work.
This event, organised by BWI affiliate KAHUTINDO in partnership with relevant authorities and industry actors, marks an important step in adapting the Code nationally and will be held to commemorate International Workers’ Memorial Day.
South Africa’s CEPPWAWU signed a declaration with seven forestry companies recognising the importance of safe and healthy workplaces, especially in the time of COVID-19. The signatories also called on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to declare occupational health and safety as a fundamental right of workers. This initiative is part of BWI’s campaign leading to this year’s International Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April
