Garment workers run for safety in factories

Garment workers run to mark the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2010.

On Sunday 25th April at 7:00am at Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park, Binh Duong Province, 2,500 garment workers run in a safety campaign to mark the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2010.

Garment workers from Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding provinces will participate in the run, having fun while also learning more about good safety and health practices in factories. Participating workers will also have chance to earn prizes including 10 grand prizes of 1 million dong.

The Safety Run campaign is organized by Better Work Viet Nam to raise awareness of occupational safety and health in the Vietnamese apparel industry. The campaign will also give workers and their managers the chance to enjoy themselves together with a focus on joint ways to promote safety through understanding risks and preventative measures inside their factories.
