Philippine Workers cost of living is around Php 800/day (~ USD 17) for a family of 6 minimum wage is Php 365/day ( ~USD 8)

OHS Situation Occupational accidents resulting to death increased by 69.7% from 2000 to 2002 In 2000 there were 68,691 accidents In 2002 it was 46,661 According to the ILO, some countries account only 10% (lowest) of the accidents, while coverage can be as low as 30%.

Workplace conditions In 2002 there were only 59 accredited workplace inspectors assigned to monitor more than 700,000 registered enterprises. Each inspector, to provide at least 80% coverage must check 9,492 firms a year or 32/day

OHS and Mining In 2005, 50 miners were buried after mine explosion In 2007, 4 miners were again buried after mine collapsed

Sodium Cyanide Sodium Cyanide is used to leach gold from the ore Acute effects include rapid breathing, gasping, tremors, convulsions and death Effects of sublethal poisoning include headache, dizziness and thyroid enlargement.

Lead poisoning Acute effects of lead poisoning are seizures, headaches, dizziness, memory deficit, nausea and miscarriage. Chronic effects includes pallor, seizures, memory loss, wrist/foot drop and renal failure.

Intense heat, poor ventilation Poor ventilation robs the body of needed oxygen causing the brain to malfunction and leads to many deaths especially in underground operations

Globalization threatens labour rights In order to attract foreign investments, labor rights like the right to form unions and the right to strike are not allowed in economic zones

Support workers to form unions

Promote OHS Elimination of Hazard Substitution Isolate the Hazard Engineering control Administrative control Personal Protective Equipment
