Strengthening the implementation of Work injury and Occupational disease policies for workers in the current period

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), preventing occupational accidents is a fundamental human right; workers must be protected from illness, disease, and injury arising from their work. With a focus on the principle of "prevention is better than cure," the ILO has adopted more than 40 specific standards related to occupational safety and health, as well as more than 40 codes of practice, providing essential tools for governments, employers, and workers to establish regulations and ensure maximum safety in the workplace. As a full and active member of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Vietnam has ratified many fundamental ILO conventions on occupational accident prevention and applied them appropriately to the country's conditions and circumstances in each period.
