BWI condemns the escalating war in Gaza, a human-made disaster, not a collateral crisis. Israel’s policies of starvation, displacement & conquest have pushed over 500,000 working people to the brink of famine. Gaza lies in ruins. Read our statement: bwint.org/BwiNews/NewsDe…
How extreme are global weather conditions so far this year? Listen to @BWIglobal's Director on Construction and Health and Safety, @L_Wikstrom, on the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable & what it is like to toil under the scorching sun on construction sites on…
Lucky to have @BWIglobal organising a Business & Human Rights workshop with @FESonline in Tanzania that looks at the responsibility of MNCs and respect for human and labour rights in (mega) #infrastructure projects and #globalvaluechains - more and more utilising subcontractors.

This years Mayday have been colored by the ultimate act of protest conducted by our fellow construction unionist who self-immolated in front of a courthouse in Gangneung, South Korea. He will be remembered and we will fight for the living in his honor! hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…

@H_S_E The UK is way behind international best practice on silica exposures. We need a new, more protective #silica workplace exposure limit now! Over a thousand lives each year could be saved, thousands of workers could be spared disability. Send HSE a message: hazards.org/hsestopkilling…
@hazardseditor @H_S_E @ShellyAsquith @farmworkcancer @jnewsham @HildaPalmer @hazardsmagazine @UniteHandS @aew1aew1 @NickPahlBAcCCEO @L_Wikstrom More than just a reduced exposure limit. You need to eliminate dangerous products like high silica content engineered stone and implement stronger rules to identify and control silica exposure in all industries from quarries & mining to building & construction
