Does social dialogue really make a difference when it comes to worker safety? Join our panelists as they explore the role consultation, communication and collaboration plays in the design and implementation of OSH legislation, policies, and programmes. Hear how the voices of governments, workers’ and employers’ organisations can be balanced to develop effective and sustainable OSH solutions.

Join panelists Morgan Mazarura, Zimbabwe Construction and Allied Trades Workers Union, Abdul Rauf Anjum, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, Pakistan, as they share two international worker perspectives on the role communication plays in overcoming challenges and creating safer workplaces.
