Key principles of the ILO Code

摘要

1. Recognition of HIV/AIDS as a workplace issue. 2. Non-discrimination: in the spirit of decent work and respect for the human rights and dignity of persons infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, there should be no discrimination against workers on the basis of real or perceived HIV status. 3. Gender equality: more equal gender relations and the empowerment of women are vital to successfully prevent the spread of HIV infection and enable women to cope with HIV/AIDS. 4. Healthy work environment: the work environment should be healthy and safe, so far as is practicable, for all concerned parties, in order to prevent transmission of HIV, in accordance with the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (no. 155).
