Every 12 seconds, there is a work-related death somewhere in the world. Many more suffer chronic or acute diseases. Stress and burnout also contribute significantly to undermining the mental health of overworked and often underpaid working people.<\/p>\n<p>This worrisome situation must stop. Despite the formal inclusion of occupational safety and health as a core aspect of the decent work concept, it is not yet an International Labour Organisation (ILO) fundamental right at work (FRAW).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/psi_poster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4809\" src=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/psi_poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/psi_poster.jpg 270w, https:\/\/28april.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/psi_poster-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>ILO\u2019s recognition of workplace safety as a key FRAW would lead to its inclusion along with freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining and conventions against child labour and forced labour as components of the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (FPRW).
