 INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a United Nations agency that sets international labour
standards and promotes social protection and work opportunities for all.The ILO has 187 member states: 186 of the 193
UN member states plus the Cook Islands are members of the ILO. The tripartite structure is unique to the ILO where
representatives from the government, employers and employees openly debate and create labour standards. The
International Labour Office is the permanent secretariat of the International Labour Organization. It is the focal point for
International Labour Organization's overall activities, which it prepares under the scrutiny of the Governing Body and under the
leadership of the Director-General.The Office employs some 2,700 officials from over 150 nations at its headquarters in Geneva,
and in around 40 field offices around the world. Among these officials, 900 work in technical cooperation programmes and
projects.

In 1969, the organization received the Nobel Peace Prize for improving fraternity and peace among nations, pursuing
decent and justice for workers, and providing technical assistance to other developing nations.The International Labour
Organization has developed a system of International labour standards aimed at promoting opportunities for women and
men to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and dignity.

International Labour Standards on Occupational Safety and Health

The ILO Constitution sets forth the principle that workers should be protected from sickness,
disease and injury arising from their employment. Yet for millions of workers the reality is very different. The ILO
estimates that 2.02 million people die each year from work-related accidents or diseases. A further 317 million people
suffer from work-related diseases, and there are an estimated 337 million fatal and non-fatal work-related accidents per
year. The suffering caused by such accidents and illnesses to workers and their families is incalculable. In economic
terms, the ILO has estimated that 4% of the world’s annual GDP is lost as a consequence of occupational diseases and
accidents. Employers face costly early retirements, loss of skilled staff, absenteeism, and high insurance premiums due
to work-related accidents and diseases. Yet many of these tragedies are preventable through the implementation of
sound prevention, reporting and inspection practices. ILO standards on occupational safety and health provide essential
tools for governments, employers, and workers to establish such practices and to provide for maximum safety at work.
In 2003 the ILO adopted an global strategy to improve occupational safety and health  which included the introduction
of a preventive safety and health culture, the promotion and development of relevant instruments, and technical
assistance.

Fundamental principles of occupational safety and health

 Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 and its Protocol of 2002 
 The convention provides for the adoption of a coherent national occupational safety and health policy, as well as
action to be taken by governments and within enterprises to promote occupational safety and health and to
improve working conditions. This policy shall be developed by taking into consideration national conditions and
practice. The Protocol calls for the establishment and the periodic review of requirements and procedures for the
recording and notification of occupational accidents and diseases, and for the publication of related annual
statistics.

As basic starting point,one person should be able to lift an object weighing up to 51pounds:

 If the object is within 7 inches from the front of his or her body.
 If the object is at waist height and directly in front of the person.
 If there is no twisting involved.
 If there is a handle on the object.
 If the load inside doesn’t shift once lifted.

HUMAN ANATOMY
AND
PHYSIOLOGY
 INTRODUCTION

ANATOMY
Studies of the body parts and their relationships.

Macroscopic (Gross) Anatomy

Study of large body structure.

(e.g:heart,lungs,kidneys…etc.)

Microscopic Anatomy

Very small structures that cannot be seen with naked eyes.

(e.g: blood cells,tissues…etc.)

Developmental Anatomy
Structural changes to the body throughout the lifespan. And the development occur before birth is called
embryology

PHYSIOLOGY

Physiology is the study of the body function.

System : study of body system’s function

Comparative :study of various characteristics of living organisms

Medical :study of dysfunction and diseases
