A campaign was launched in Hanoi by the municipal Confederation of Labour (HCL) on March 11 in response to the 17th annual National Week on Occupational Health and Safety – Fire and Explosion Prevention from March 15-21.
The municipal confederation called for collaboration among its chapters, local authorities and businesses to organise practical activities to protect worker interests and apply advanced technology to create safe working conditions.
It also urged stakeholders to enhance campaign implementation monitoring and supervision while encouraging rule-abiding behaviours among workers to minimise risks of occupational accidents and diseases.
