Workers are routinely denied even basic health and safety protections, including consultation with safety reps and safety committees on \u2018Covid-safe\u2019 policies and practices, free access to personal protective equipment and protection from victimisation for raising health and safety concerns. But the same problems existed before the pandemic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/lang--en\/index.htm\">resulted in millions of deaths each year from work-related injuries and diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic demonstrates why health and safety must be a right for everyone who works. Illness anywhere threatens illness everywhere. Unions secured agreement at the International Labour Conference in 2019 that occupational health and safety should be recognised as an International Labour Organisation (ILO) fundamental right at work \u2013 the decent, universally accepted and binding rights protecting all workers, everywhere. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/wcmsp5\/groups\/public\/@ed_norm\/@relconf\/documents\/meetingdocument\/wcms_711674.pdf\">ILO Centenary Declaration<\/a> accepts \u201csafe and healthy working conditions are fundamental to decent work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On 28 April 2021, unions can send a message that health and safety protection at work must be recognised as a right for all. Whether it is Covid or occupational cancers, or workplace injuries and industrial diseases, every worker should have a right to a voice and a right to protection. No-one should have to die to make a living.<\/p>\n<p>Resources and updates will be posted on the dedicated 28 April webpages: <a href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\">www.28april.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/ituc-campaign-brief-ohs\">ITUC Campaign Brief<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this post<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-4208\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-4208\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-4208\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pocket\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-pocket sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208&amp;share=pocket\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pocket\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208&amp;share=jetpack-whatsapp\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on WhatsApp\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=4208\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%2028%20April%202021%20campaign%20theme%3A%20Health%20and%20safety%20is%20a%20fundamental%20right%20at%20work&body=https%3A%2F%2F28april.org%2F%3Fp%3D4208&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
