“ The ISS works every day to protect health in the workplace, with prevention, supervision and technical support activities – says the Director General of the ISSClaudio Vagnini-. The ILO’s call for psychosocial well-being invites us to carefully consider factors such as workload, clarity of tasks, communication and the possibility of reporting critical issues: aspects that impact health and safety as much as more traditional risks. We will continue to work with employers and workers to promote safe and respectful work environments.”concludes ISS.
