Efficiency from raising awareness about occupational safety and health

After participating in the program "Training to raise awareness about environmental protection and occupational safety and health" organized by the Tuyen Quang Provincial Labor Federation (LĐLĐ), Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Quynh, a worker at Woodland Tuyen Quang Joint Stock Company, feels more secure when working on the production line.

Through training, the clearest effect is that workers' occupational safety skills are improved. I have understood and grasped the risks to prevent them. This has met high requirements in production safety" - Ms. Quynh shared.

From the knowledge and skills trained, Ms. Quynh also disseminates and shares with other workers and laborers in the factory to jointly raise awareness about occupational safety and hygiene.

For specific jobs such as metallurgy, labor safety plays a particularly important role. The knowledge and skills trained have contributed to raising workers' awareness of complying with safety regulations.

Mr. Le Tuan Anh, a worker at Tuyen Quang Iron and Steel Company, said that complying with company regulations is very important, contributing to ensuring safety for workers.

When entering the workshop, we always determine that we must first comply. From helmets, shirts, pants, and protective shoes, everything must be complete. This does not require the manager to remind or fine us to do it" - Mr. Tuan Anh said.

From that reality, the Labor Federations of localities regularly coordinate to organize conferences and training programs to raise awareness about environmental protection and occupational safety and health for grassroots trade union officials and teams working on occupational safety and health at enterprises.

Knowledge and skills from training programs are applied by trade union officials and officials working in occupational safety and health at enterprises, thereby contributing to raising the awareness of compliance of workers.

Talking to PV, Mr. Le Hung Manh, Vice Chairman of Tuyen Quang Provincial Labor Federation, said that through training programs, grassroots trade union officials and teams working in occupational safety and health at enterprises are updated and improve their knowledge and skills in environmental protection, occupational safety and health.

Along with equipping and updating knowledge and skills on labor safety, we also improve the capacity of grassroots trade union officials in propagating and mobilizing union members and workers to well comply with the provisions of law on environmental protection, safety, and occupational hygiene" - Mr. Le Hung Manh said.
