BWI to launch its OSH Brigade Manual

On the occasion of this year’s observance of “International Workers’ Memorial Day," and as part of BWI's “Global OSH Brigades Programme,” the 12 million-strong global union on 27 April will launch its "Occupational Health and Safety Brigade Manual". The manual seeks to empower trade union leaders and OSH professionals in their respective unions to ensure safer and healthier working conditions, methods and working environments. 

In 2022, The International Labour Organisation (ILO) recognised "safe and healthy working environments” as a fundamental worker right, which was guaranteed by ILO Conventions 155 and 187. Trade unions must now ensure the fulfillment of the said right. In addition to preventing deaths and accidents at work, the advocacy aims to ensure the workers' good health. Health is understood as a state of physical, social and mental well-being. This ideal state depends to a large extent on the work of the trade unions. Unionised workplaces are safer and healthier.

Join us as BWI’s Latin America Regional Office officially launch the OSH Brigade Manual! Mark your calendars! 27 April, 9h (UTC -5).
