Chairwoman of the Labour Federation Le Thi Hong Nga said her federation has asked grassroots trade union organisations to coordinate with the company in supervising the observation of occupational safety and hygiene regulations and raising public awareness of the matter, contributing to reducing occupational accident and diseases, improving working conditions and providing health care for labourers.
