At the XVIII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work in 2008, the Seoul Declaration was signed by 46 representatives of workers, employers, and government groups. The signatories of the Seoul Declaration promised to protect workers’ safety and health. The National Committee for the Implementation of the Seoul Declaration is comprised of 21 members, including the President of KOSHA, and representatives of Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU), Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the Korean Employers Federation (KEF), and other workplaces. During the meeting, the past three years’ activities since the adoption of the Seoul Declaration were briefed. In addition, discussions were made to further promote the Seoul Declaration through the Korean OSH organizations activities in overseas. To that end, the participants of the gathering talked about ways to promote the Seoul Declaration during the XIX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work to be held in “It is encouraging that the representatives of the tripartite organizations are working to promote prevention culture, highlighted by the Seoul Declaration. They recognize occupational safety and health as the basic right of workers, as well as the important means to achieve economic development. I hope with more active collaboration with workplaces, the principles and significances of the Seoul Declaration become widely spread,” said an official from KOSHA. <Photo: President Min-Ki Noh of KOSHA (3rd person from the left in the front row) and participants renewed their commitments to promote the Seoul Declaration on Safety and Health at Work> |
