Welcome to the 16 June, 2022 edition of SafetyNet.

After years of campaigning by workers globally, the annual conference of the ILO last Friday enshrined the right to a safe and healthy working environment as one of its Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, commiting member states to respect and promote the right.

This is a key step forward in raising standards for workers around the world. It enshrines the principle that all workers should enjoy a safe and healthy working environment.

You can find more information about the decision here and an ITUC report on it here.

We hope you find this week's edition useful and interesting. Feel free to share it and please encourage others in your workplaces to subscribe.
