Safety at Workplace: Our Primary Concern

Safety at workplace is our primary concern. Workers shall neither die nor get injured at workplace. In reality, annually 2 million workers die as a result of occupational accidents and others work-related causes and around 30 million workers suffer work-related causes around the world.

The OSHEI (Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Institute) was established in Bangkok in Cooperation with GUFs and with the support of the LO/FTF (Denmark) in 2000 and its active operation continued until 2006. This Home Page succeeds the technical assets of the Institute to be a virtual information clearance centre for the ITUC-AP affiliates and many associated organisations.

The ITUC-AP believes that every worker has a right to a workplace that is healthy, safe and free from injury and workers should be given the highest level of protection against risk to their health and safety. This is an essential part of decent work for which trade unions, employers and government must work together.
