Last Friday, October 16, the Institute for Occupational Health and Safety Development (IOHSAD) conducted its Workers’ Orientation on Basic Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) among caregivers, social workers, and other employees at Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly- Sta. Teresa Jornet Home.

Workers learned the historical context and struggle for occupational safety and health, the situation of OSH in the Philippines, their OSH rights, how to conduct risk assessments and build a Workers’ OSH Committee.

IOHSAD extends its earnest gratitude to the staff and sisters of Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly – Sta. Teresa Jornet Home for inviting us to discuss an important labor and human rights issue such as OSH.

We believe willingness and initiatives that come from workers and workplaces regarding care on OSH is impactful in working towards genuinely safe and healthy work.
