HSE's wider international role

ILO

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the tripartite UN agency that brings together governments, employers and workers of its member states in common action to promote decent work throughout the world.

HSE leads on liaison with the ILO regarding matters of occupational safety and health, such as proposals for ILO Conventions and Recommendations, and providing feedback on the UK position on existing ILO Conventions and other instruments.

IALI
