The number of accidents keeps on rising.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the latest estimate of work-related accidents and diseases nears 3 million, with 2.6 million deaths attributed to work-related diseases and 330,000 to fatal accidents. This represents an increase of more than 5% compared to 2015.<\/p>\n<p>This worrying trend must stop. Year after year, trade unions dedicate the IWMD to workers who lose their lives at work or from work-related diseases. This must stop! The reality needs to change: irregular, criminal, fraudulent practices by unscrupulous companies must stop. Long and complex subcontracting chains are a major risk factor for accidents at work, especially for migrant and posted workers, who usually are at the bottom of the chain, do not receive proper training and often do not speak the language of the country in which they work.<\/p>\n<p>The EFBWW and the BWI call on all of its affiliates to mobilise their members and allies to raise the awareness of workers, and to lobby employers and governments on this problem:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To limit subcontracting and ensure joint and several liability throughout the chain.
