The Textile and Footwear Industry is of strategic importance to many Member States of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
In October 2021, an expert meeting adopted the first ILO Code of Practice for safety and health in the Textile and Footwear Industry. Drawing on international labor standards, other industry guidelines and tools, the Code provides comprehensive and practical advice on how governments, employers, workers and their representatives should work together to eliminate, reduce and control all major hazards and risks. These include – but are not limited to – biological hazards, hazardous substances, ergonomic and physical hazards, tools, machines and equipment, as well as building safety and fire safety.
