Held on April 28, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an annual event for the ILO that aims to focus international attention on the establishment and promotion of a safety and health culture at work and the reduction of the number of work-related deaths each year. This year, the overall theme is Decent Work - Safe work - HIV/AIDS. The internet site www.ilo.org/safework/safeday gives access to numerous products for the promotion of this major event.

In order to contribute to its success and promote decent work in the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, CIS has compiled a list of information resources (standards, books, articles, CD-ROMs, etc.) on HIV/AIDS at the workplace. It comprises material on the prevention of HIV/AIDS, the protection of workers against discrimination and the care and support of workers infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as the management and mitigation of its impact on the world of work.
