He stressed the need for enterprises and labourers to thoroughly know the importance of ensuring safety and health at work places and consider this as a regular practice, Diep stressed.
Vietnam pays due attention to ensuring occupational health and safety at work, he said, adding that the National Assembly official approved the Law on Occupational Safety and Hygiene, and many programmes and campaigns are being arranged to raise awareness of the issue for employees and employers.
