Nghe An Newspaper respectfully introduces the full text of Directive No. 31.
After 10 years of implementing Directive No. 29-CT/TW, dated September 18, 2013 of the Secretariat on promoting occupational safety and hygiene in the period of industrialization, modernization and international integration, many positive results have been achieved, the rate of serious occupational accidents has decreased. Awareness and responsibility of Party committees, Party organizations, authorities, agencies, organizations, enterprises, workers and society have been raised. Policies and laws on occupational safety and hygiene continue to be improved, expanding the scope of application to areas without labor relations.
Prevention, risk assessment, control of dangerous and harmful factors; health care for workers, improvement of working conditions and risk support mechanisms for businesses and workers are given more attention. Strengthening state management responsibilities, assigning tasks, decentralizing, and coordinating more closely between agencies, organizations and localities. Expanding international cooperation and integration; promoting socialization, developing training services, technical inspection of labor safety, and monitoring of the working environment.
However, occupational safety and hygiene work has not met requirements, the number of occupational accidents has not decreased, occupational diseases have not been given attention, especially in areas without labor relations. Some Party committees, authorities, enterprises, production and business establishments, and workers have not attached importance to occupational safety and hygiene work; investment resources and state management work are still limited; due attention has not been paid to prevention, inspection, examination, supervision, detection, and handling of violations. The awareness of law compliance of workers and employers is not strict. Research and application of advanced science and technology on occupational safety and hygiene have not kept up with reality.
