Ministry of <strong>Labour</strong><br />

• Strengthen the capacity of labour inspectors to monitor workplaces <strong>and</strong> recognize health <strong>and</strong><br />

safety violations, particularly in under-regulated sectors or irregular work situations.<br />

• Develop labour inspection guidelines <strong>and</strong> build the capacity of inspectors to recognize<br />

situations of extreme exploitation, including human trafficking <strong>and</strong> safely refer individuals to<br />

support services.<br />

• Fund strategies to inform migrant workers of their rights to health <strong>and</strong> other services <strong>and</strong> their<br />

rights as migrants <strong>and</strong> as workers.<br />

Private sector (business, employers <strong>and</strong> industry)<br />

• Engage employers (<strong>and</strong> contractors within their supply chains) to ensure safe workplaces,<br />

including well-monitored workplace safety conditions, provision <strong>and</strong> use of relevant protective<br />

gear <strong>and</strong> clear responses to accidents <strong>and</strong> injuries.<br />

Further research priorities<br />

• Conduct quantitative surveys to identify broader patterns of migration risk, protective factors<br />

<strong>and</strong> decision-making, migrant health <strong>and</strong> health service access <strong>and</strong> use.<br />

• Carry out longitudinal research to identify migrants’ long-term health needs.<br />

• Conduct intervention research to develop evidence-based strategies to improve migrant worker<br />

conditions, especially: protection <strong>and</strong> response mechanisms; outreach clinics for health <strong>and</strong><br />

legal services; labour inspections of registered <strong>and</strong> irregular enterprises; worker coalitions <strong>and</strong><br />

victim-centred law enforcement responses.<br />
