The Vietnam Association for Occupational Safety and Health Science and Technology, which was set up seven years ago, has proved effective in the struggle against occupational accidents, declared Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Bui Hong Linh at the Association’s second national congress held in Hanoi on May 28.
The association, which now has a membership of 700, is involved in legislation, consultancy, criticism, appraisal, and research related to occupational safety and health (OSH) .
To date, the organization has held hundreds of OSH courses for thousands of managers, employers, and workers.
Mr Linh said ensuring the health and safety of workers is among the Party and State’s major priorities and contributes to sustainable development.
Vietnam has made a great deal of progress in this field recently. As an example, the coal industry saw a 25 percent drop in the number of occupational accidents in 2009 and the number of workers killed in those accidents fell by 35 percent.
