Promoting Health and Safety at Work
ILO supports Safety Officers to enhance their knowledge on occupational health and safety.
The Ministry of Employment and Social Affairs of Seychelles in collaboration with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) held a two-day occupational safety and health workshop for safety officers from different industries including tourism and construction from November 13 to 14 2023.
Introducing the workshop, Ms. Peneyambeko Munkawa, ILO’s occupational safety and health specialist, stressed that the ILO had identified ‘work safety and health’ as one of the people’s fundamental principles and rights at work.
Four main topics, namely risk assessment, accident investigation, workplace policy and occupational safety and health and lastly implementation of occupational safety and health management systems were discussed by the participants.
Mrs. Hillary Albert, the Sustainability Coordinator at Constance Ephelia resort, confirmed the importance of the workshop because it was really helpful and informative as it identified the different safety hazards in a workplace and how to go about reducing and eliminating risks.
Let’s be part of the change!
