Your job is to enable you to live - and does not cause your death. Traditionally
April 28, all unions worldwide organize an event to celebrate International Workers' Memorial Day. That is to say loud and clear that the industrial accidents and occupational diseases are perfectly predictable, and encourage union organizing campaigns and focus on improving the health and safety. There is also a day commemorating those who died because of their work.
Asbestos
100,000 deaths each year due to asbestos - the president of BWI requires that asbestos be on the agenda of all governments Approximately 80 trade unionists building and timber industries of 36 countries meet in Vienna to discuss how to impose a global ban on all types of asbestos. Wiesehügel Klaus, president of BWI, said in his opening speech that " asbestos should be on the agenda of all governments since the consequences of exposure to asbestos will be much more serious than we have thought a few years ago . "Wiesehügel Klaus, a major problem is the aggression of the asbestos industry on developing countries in Africa and Asia while in over 40 countries a prohibition of asbestos exists. There than in developing countries there is still an increase in the importation of asbestos. For BWI, the parallel event organized by the group of chrysotile asbestos is clearly provocative. Wiesehügel mentions " These people are seeking confrontation. We will not accept their challenge. We will use clear words ." Johann Holper, president of the Austrian affiliate of BWI, GBH " Those in favor of asbestos fear the success of the global campaign to BWI for a global ban. We will continue working to achieve a global ban on asbestos ! " The asbestos industry is seeking to convince the public that asbestos is not dangerous and safe. Igor Fedotov of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva: " All serious scientists oppose this view. Best is a worldwide ban ! "The figures we have: Approximately 100,000 people die worldwide each year after occupational exposure to asbestos. For Fiona Murie, Director of the Health and Safety" figures are certainly unknown higher because many victims do not know they were exposed to asbestos and the health problems appear very often several decades later without any relationship is made. In addition, there is no reliable record of medical cases in many countries. "
