Previously (May 8) at the launching ceremony of the Action Month for Occupational Safety and Health and Workers' Month 2026, Mr. Nguyen Van Doat - Vice Chairman of Dien Bien Provincial People's Committee - said that the risk of occupational unsafety is still present; labor accidents and fires and explosions still occur.

Mr. Doat also emphasized: "Occupational safety must shift from passive handling to proactive prevention; from management based on experience to management based on technology and data.

Vice Chairman of Dien Bien Provincial People's Committee said that it is necessary to gradually digitize labor safety management, build databases, apply technology in monitoring and early risk warning, towards a safe, smart, and modern working environment.

Along with that is to make labor safety a mandatory requirement, a criterion for evaluating the level of task completion of agencies, units, and enterprises.
