Doctor CKII Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang, Deputy Director of the Provincial Center for Disease Control, said: “In 2024, the Provincial Center for Disease Control conducted monitoring of the working environment at 206 enterprises and collected more than 43,000 samples to assess risk factors affecting the health of workers. When detecting that the working environment at some enterprises had factors of temperature, humidity, light, noise, toxic gases, radiation, etc. exceeding the permissible threshold, causing harm to the health of workers, the center requested that enterprises take measures to improve working conditions and ensure the health and safety of workers.

In 2025, the center will conduct labor environment monitoring at 150 enterprises. Through the work of supporting and monitoring occupational safety and health at enterprises, it shows that most enterprises have paid attention to implementing measures to improve working conditions, overcome risk factors affecting workers' health, and increase training and improve knowledge and skills on occupational safety and health for workers.

However, there are still some enterprises that have not done a good job in ensuring occupational safety and health, have not fully implemented regulations on establishing occupational environmental hygiene records, monitoring the working environment, conducting health examinations before assigning jobs, examining occupational diseases, and have not made occupational health reports as prescribed.

During the 2025 Occupational Safety and Health Action Month, the Department of Health, relevant agencies and localities will strengthen communication and dissemination of legal regulations to employees and business owners on ensuring the health and lives of employees, and promote businesses to focus on improving a green - clean - beautiful - safe working environment.

At the same time, strengthen coordination in implementing inspection and assessment of compliance with occupational safety and health laws at agencies, units and enterprises, especially enterprises operating in the fields of construction, mineral exploitation, mechanics, metallurgy, chemicals, etc. to detect hazardous factors and require business owners to have timely solutions.
