讲座摘要:
全球性大流行病给一线工人带来了特定的问题。他们经常与人直接接触,故而感染新冠肺炎的风险非常高。所谓的一线工人包括医生和护士等卫生保健人员、老年护工或儿童护工等其他护理人员、运输工人、食品配送员、警察、保安人员和清洁工。其中许多工人处于数字平台经济环境中。
2021年,国际劳工组织针对“职业安全与健康系统如何保护10个不同国家的一线工人”展开了研究。Sean Cooney教授和其合著者撰写的《世界就业和社会展望:2023年趋势》报告将由国际劳工组织发布。该报告包括了“哪些工人受法律保护?”“雇主和工人的职责是什么?”“政府向工人和雇主提供了哪些指导,以及遵守情况如何?”等问题。
今年,国际劳工组织将安全健康的工作环境确定为工人的一项基本劳动权利。Sean Cooney教授将在本场讲座中以《世界就业和社会展望:2023年趋势》报告为基础,深入讨论国际上关于工作健康和安全的相关问题,这与国际劳动法的当下热点问题十分契合。
The global pandemic has caused particular problems for front line workers . These workers are regularly exposed to human contact and were thus at very high risk of contracting Covid-19. Such workers include: health care workers (doctors and nurses), other carers (aged care, child care), transport workers, food delivery, police and security workers, and cleaners. Many of these workers in the digital platform economy.
In 2021, the International Labour Organization commissioned a study on how work health and safety systems (also called occupational health and safety systems) protected frontline workers across 10 different countries. My co-authors and I examined questions including which workers were covered by the law, what the duties of employers and workers were, what guidance governments provided to workers and employers as well as compliance and the role of unions and employer representatives. The report will be published as the ILO’s 2023 World Employment and Social Outlook Report.
In this lecture, I will use the report to discuss questions about work health and safety internationally. This is particularly timely since this year the ILO has defined a safe and health working environment as a fundamental labour right.
