ILO Convention No.

155, also known as the Occupational Safety

and Health Convention, sets out various rights and principles
related to the safety and health of workers. Below are some of
the key worker rights outlined in Convention No. 155:
1. Right to a Safe and Healthy Workplace: Workers have the
fundamental right to work in an environment that is safe
and without risks to their health. This includes protection
from hazards that may arise in the workplace.
2. Right to Information: Workers have the right to receive
information about safety and health matters in their
workplace. This includes information about potential
hazards, safety procedures, and their rights and
responsibilities.
3. Right to Participation: Workers have the right to
participate in decision-making processes related to safety
and health at work. This participation can occur through
safety committees, consultations, and other mechanisms.
4. Right to Refuse Unsafe Work: Workers have the right to
refuse to perform work that they reasonably believe to be
dangerous to their life or health. However, this refusal
should be made in good faith and in accordance with
national laws and regulations.
5. Protection from Discrimination: Workers should not face
discrimination or retaliation for exercising their rights
 related to safety and health. This includes the right to
report hazards or refuse unsafe work.
6. Right to Training: Workers have the right to receive
training and education on safety and health matters to
ensure they can perform their jobs safely and contribute
to a safer workplace.
7. Right to Compensation: In the event of work-related
injuries, illnesses, or disabilities, workers have the right to
compensation and access to necessary medical care and
rehabilitation services.
8. Right to Be Informed of Hazards: Workers have the right
to be informed of any known hazards associated with their
work and to be provided with appropriate protective
equipment and measures.
9. Right to Health Surveillance: Workers may have the right
to health surveillance, which can include regular health
check-ups to monitor and address the health effects of
their work.
10. Right to Rest and Recovery: Workers have the right
to rest periods and breaks to ensure their well-being and
reduce the risk of fatigue-related accidents and illnesses.
It's important to note that the specific implementation of these
rights can vary from country to country based on national laws
and regulations. Convention No. 155 sets a framework for the
protection of worker rights related to occupational safety and
health, and member states are expected to adopt measures
that align with the principles outlined in the convention to
ensure the safety and well-being of their workers.
