Migrant worker’s right to health 2013, para. 48
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The provision of on-site training and protective equipment is necessary for the enjoyment of the right to a healthy working environment. Migrant construction workers often enter construction sites without appropriate training or sufficient protective equipment, for example safety ropes when working from heights. Further, instruction or training may not be provided in a language understandable to migrant workers, which may lead to greater occupational injuries and death among migrant workers.
