Every working person should know that they have the right to expect that everything is done to keep them safe at work.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe demand that the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopts occupational health and safety as a fundamental right at work. It\u2019s as important as freedom of association and the elimination of forced labour, child labour and discrimination in employment,\u201d said ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow.<\/p>\n<p>Three years have passed since the ILO Centenary Conference agreed that this would be done. In that time around 8.1 million people have died as a result of their work, and even more now live with life-altering injuries and illnesses because their employer did not protect them.<\/p>\n<p>Sharan Burrow continued: \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated beyond doubt that working people can\u2019t wait for this any longer. Workplace deaths are preventable deaths and the latest figures show that a worker dies at least once every ten seconds. By doing this the ILO will be making a start on cutting this appalling toll of death and injuries.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>More than a fundamental right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ITUC and its affiliates are calling on governments to take action by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ratifying and implementing core ILO health and safety conventions;<\/li>\n<li>ratifying and implementing all sectoral or hazard-specific conventions;<\/li>\n<li>establishing national health and safety bodies bringing unions and employer representatives together;<\/li>\n<li>requiring occupational health services for all, and proper compensation including making Covid-19 a recognised occupational disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cEmployers must take responsibility for assessing and eradicating risks in their workplaces and in their supply chains, and consulting unions on prevention through workplace health and safety committees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we need the ILO to do more and address challenges like stress at work, musculoskeletal disorders and a convention on biological hazards like Covid-19. It is urgent that Covid-19 is recognised for the workplace threat that it is. Health and safety should be the first priority at work, not an occasional after thought,\u201d concluded Sharan Burrow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/International-Workers-Memorial-Day-2022\">https:\/\/www.ituc-csi.org\/International-Workers-Memorial-Day-2022<\/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-5087\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5087&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-5087\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5087&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-5087\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5087&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=5087&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=5087&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=5087\" 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%20Make%20safe%20and%20healthy%20work%20a%20fundamental%20right%20this%20International%20Workers%E2%80%99%20Memorial%20Day&body=https%3A%2F%2F28april.org%2F%3Fp%3D5087&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.
