Explore the new brief from the United Nations Global Compact and the International Labour Organization, Nine Business Practices for Improving Safety and Health Through Supply Chains and Building a Culture of Prevention and Protection. https://unglobalcompact.org/safetyandhealth
The brief identifies practices that businesses can implement to advance decent work and improve occupational safety and health (OSH) globally. It focuses on the role that businesses can play in ensuring safe and healthy workplaces, especially when operating in countries with deficient national safety and health and employment injury protection schemes.
The brief further recognizes the important link between sound OSH practices and effective employment injury insurance schemes: the most desirable mechanisms to protect the incomes of workers who suffer work-related injuries and cover their medical costs.
