International Labour Organisation

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) [1] is a UN tripartite agency bringing together government, employer and worker representatives of 187 member States, to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all. ILO’s constitution sets out the principle that workers should be protected from sickness, disease and injury arising from their employment [2]. In 2003 the ILO also adopted a global strategy to improve occupational safety and health, which included the introduction of a preventive safety and health culture, the promotion and development of relevant instruments, and technical assistance. ILO standards on occupational safety and health provide essential tools for governments, employers, and workers to establish such practices and to provide for maximum safety at work [3]. The electronic library on labour administration and inspection and occupational safety and health, for instance, includes ILO conventions and recommendations, the Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety, reports, training material and videos [4]
