More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Occupational health & safety (OHS) is one of the key issues encountered by migrant workers working in the cities of Southern China. The lack of education & training increases the risk of the workers in suffering from work accidents & occupational disease. By producing education materials, providing participatory OHS training and involving workers in improving their work environment, workers will be able to learn more to secure their health at work.

Activities

We will produce education materials on OHS & distribute to workers. This will help increase the awareness of OHS issues in some high risk industries.We will also advocate workers to participate in OHS training & improvement.

Potential Long Term Impact

The project will educate 2,000 migrant workers & 60 workers' representatives so as to increase their knowledge & awareness of occupational health.

We believe that life & health are priceless. We need to actively promote occupational health among migrant workers so that they are able to protect their own health when they work in cities.
