A manual for ensuring safe workplaces for sandstone mine workers in India. The publication was prepared by the Centre for Workers’ Management for ILO-IPEC and IndustriALL Global Union with funding from Irish Aid.

Education on safe practices for all employees and management prioritisation of worker safety over productivity are essential elements for ensuring a safe workplace. This manual provides guidelines on how safe workplaces can be ensured for sandstone mine workers. The publication was prepared by the Centre for Workers’ Management for ILO-IPEC and IndustriALL Global Union. Funding for this ILO publication was provided by Irish Aid.
