SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
A STRONG LABOUR INSPECTION IS ESSENTIAL

A strong and consequent labour inspection that controls the worst working places is of primary importance, especially where unions are weak or non-existent! Let us exchange information about labour inspection:John Graversgaard.

    • CHILD LABOUR: Child labour is now widely recognised as a global issue. Many countries have adopted ILO Convention 182 on eliminating the worst forms of child labour, and labour inspectorates now integrate relevant activities within their own work programmes.
