Mr. Ha Minh Duc, the cooperative's director, stated: "The cooperative primarily operates in the field of environmental sanitation. To ensure occupational safety and health for workers, the cooperative regularly provides them with protective clothing and equipment; and frequently educates and reminds workers to properly implement occupational safety and health measures… This contributes to ensuring the safety of workers during their work."

Ms. Hoang Thi Thuy, a worker at the cooperative, said: "Since working at the cooperative, I have been informed about regulations on occupational safety and health. At the same time, the cooperative has provided me with all the necessary protective equipment so that I can perform my duties well while ensuring my own health and safety."
