Manual 6:HOW TO RATIFY & USE ILO CONVENTION NO. 184ON SAFETY & HEALTH IN AGRICULTUREthe employers' delegations of Indonesia and Malaysia, and 41 abstentions(28 employers and 13 governments).The need to improve safety and health standards in agriculture isparamount as it is one of the three most dangerous industries along withconstruction and mining. Agricultural workers labour in an industry that isnot sustainable as measured by the loss of human life, injury and ill health.Furthermore, agricultural workers and small farmers form the core of therural poor. Their poverty can contribute to increased risks of work-relatedill health due to poor diet and malnutrition.One of the most distinguishing characteristics of agricultural work is that itis carried out in a rural environment where there is no clear distinctionbetween working and living conditions, unlike for factory or office workers.As a result, agricultural workers and their families face extra dangers suchas exposure to pesticides. However, agricultural workers – who continue toregister among the highest levels of global poverty – are generally excludedfrom effective forms of health, safety and social protection.The International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering,Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations (IUF) views adoption,ratification and implementation of the Convention, supported by theRecommendation, as one of the key elements and measures of sustainableagriculture. Agriculture cannot be sustainable if it continues to kill, maim,and make ill huge numbers of workers and farmers producing the world’sfood and commodities, nor if it continues to harm the environment. A safeand healthy agricultural workforce organised in strong trade unions is alsoa key element in helping ensure world food security and promoting foodsafety. For example, giving workers both the right and the means to washtheir hands not only protects them, it also protects the quality of the food.Food should not only be ecologically labelled but socially labelled to saythat those producing it did so in safe and healthy working conditions.It is hoped that this ILO-IUF Manual will help to promote ratification andimplementation of the International Labour Organisation ConventionNo. 184. AimsThis Manual aims to help agricultural workers and their trade unions, pluscivil society organisations, in their campaign(s) to promote speedyratification and implementation of the International Labour OrganisationConvention No. 184 on Safety and Health in Agriculture, along with thesupporting Recommendation No. 192. It should also provide a usefulgeneral reference to the Convention and what it contains.272 Health, Safety and EnvironmentA Series of Trade Union EducationManuals for Agricultural Workers
