In continuation of the success of 2010, on 17 April 2011, the Safety Fun Run is organized by Better Work for the second year to mark the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2011.

The Safety Run aims to connect employees – employers – buyers – social labour organizations in a joint effort of raising awareness of safety in factories. 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 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.
