On May 10th, 2023, IWCA Vietnam collaborated with the Vision Zero Fund of the International Labour Organization (ILO) to organize a training session on “Occupational Safety and Health for Employees and Managers in Coffee Shops.”

The training session aimed to enhance awareness of occupational safety and health and ensure a safe and equal working environment for employees and management.

During the training session, Mr. Ngo Xuan Phuc, Trainer at the National Center for Occupational Safety and Health – Department of Work Safety – Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, presented on the Law on Occupational Safety and Health and on risk assessment and management, both generally and specifically for coffee shops.

He emphasized the importance of ensuring occupational safety and health in the workplace and solutions to minimize and prevent risks, especially in coffee shops, where occupational accidents are often overlooked.

Ms. Pham Nguyen Cuong, Gender Equality and Labor Law Expert and former Deputy Head of the Gender Equality Department, Ministry of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs, shared knowledge on gender equality, sexual harassment, and stress management through practical cases, helping participants better understand and address these issues in the workplace.
