As part of the opening of the activity, two important guidelines: the ASEAN Guidelines on OSH in the Informal Sector, hosted and facilitated by the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC), and the ASEAN Guidelines on Strengthening Labour Inspection in the Fishing Sector, led by the Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC), were launched. This provided an opportunity to present the objectives, key provisions, and practical application of the two guidelines to ASEAN delegates and stakeholders.
By leading these talks, the Philippines actively raises national safety standards to protect Filipino workers from exploitation, specifically those from both the informal and fishing sector, reduce jobsite risks, and ensure local products meet global compliance standards.
This supports the initiative of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, and the Department.

Sa kanyang mensahe sa 15th ASEAN Labour Inspection Conference sa Clark, Pampanga, nanawagan siya ng mas matibay na pananagutan at transparency sa global at regional supply chains upang matiyak ang ligtas na lugar ng paggawa, patas na pagtrato, at disenteng trabaho para sa lahat ng manggagawa.

Hindi nagtatapos sa inspection ang compliance. Dito nagsisimula ang mas intentional na pag-improve.

After the inspection, mas pinahusay ang compliance monitoring, employee orientation, records management, at workplace safety practices. Nagkaroon din ng additional safety trainings to further strengthen the safety culture across all projects.

Small improvements, consistent action—stronger and safer workplaces.
