| Summary: | This note provides guidance to investors
and governments on good practice in occupational health and
safety policies, programs, procedures and processes, a
matter of critical importance given thathalf the world’s
working population is in agriculture—one of the three most
hazardous sectors, with an estimated 170,000 fatalities per
year (ILO). To be successful, an agribusiness operationmust
rely heavily not only on the skills and competencies of its
employees but on their health and wellbeing, requiring an
awareness of and adherence to acceptable occupational health
and safety standards. |
