Manual 6:HOW TO RATIFY & USE ILO CONVENTION NO. 184ON SAFETY & HEALTH IN AGRICULTUREIUF Comment on Article 4Article 4 represents a step forward in many countries as it means a national strategy andprogramme on safety and health in agriculture has to be drawn up and with adequateresources.Under Article 4.1, a Government has to develop a national policy on agricultural safety andhealth, and define the ‘competent authority’ as per Article 4.2. The proviso in Article 4.1for, “after consulting with the representative organisations of employers and workersconcerned”, offers workers and their trade unions the possibility to express their viewsregarding the drawing up, implementation, and monitoring of that national policy andassociated standards.The call in Article 4.2 (c) for governments to, “establish mechanisms of inter-sectoralco-ordination among relevant authorities and bodies for the agricultural sector and definetheir functions and responsibilities.....”. can be important, for example, in ensuring thatMinistries of Labour, Agriculture, Health etc. co-operate to protect workers’ health.289 Health, Safety and EnvironmentA Series of Trade Union EducationManuals for Agricultural Workers
