VNNIOSH and the ILO/VZF project implement cooperation activities in OSH field

– Review WIND training materials which have been adapted by the ILO/VZF project to the specific OSH situation in the coffee industry (cultivation and processing).

– Adapt the guidelines “Reporting, Recording and Notification of Occupational Accidents and Diseases: A brief guide for Employers and Managers/ A brief guide for Workers” to reflect the related requirements in the Law on OSH and the Labour Code in Vietnam.

 – It is expected that in the coming time, VNNIOSH will participate in the ToT online training course organized by the project on: “Reporting, recording and notification on occupational accidents and occupational diseases – The role of workers”. The lecturer in charge is the OSH specialist of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) and expert from VNNIOSH.

In addition, in May 2023 staff from VNNIOSH attended the workshop on Planning a campaign to promote occupational safety and health (a fundamental principle and right in the workplace) in the Vietnam coffee supply chain organized by Department of Work Safety, Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) in collaboration with the ILO/VZF project office. The workshop brought together key partners in the coffee supply chain in Vietnam such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL), the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance (VCA) and the Global Coffee Platform (GCP), etc. Activities at the workshop were directly guided by experts from the ILO International Training Center.  

Participating in cooperation activities with ILO Vietnam will help VNNIOSH staff to have the opportunity to update information, exchange experiences and knowledge in the field of OSH, and contribute to the protection of occupational health and safety of workers in general and workers in the agricultural sector in particular, towards achieving the goal of decent and sustainable work for all within the framework of the MoU of “The Decent Work Country Program Vietnam 2022-2026” was signed by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance and the International Labor Organization in Hanoi recently.
