The government and workers have recognized the need to update occupational safety and health regulations to protect workers. Although security is essential for efficiency and productivity, we often prioritize convenience over safety, resulting in costly compensations. The Trade Union Congress is pushing the government to pass the National Occupational Safety and Health Bill to ensure a safe work environment for all stakeholders. Safety at the workplace and health have been designated a fundamental right, and it is the responsibility of employers, governments, and society to uphold this right.
The 20th-anniversary celebration of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work commemorates those who have lost their lives or sustained disabilities in the workplace. The Deputy Secretary of the TUC called on employees to prioritize safety over compensation in collective bargaining agreements. The Minister of Employment and Labour Relations charged employers and factory owners to ensure the safety and health of their employees.
