The Seoul Declaration on Safety and Health at Work is a document containing a set of principles that countries can use to help make sure that their workplaces are safe and healthy for people.

The Seoul Declaration includes nine main points, which say that: everyone has the right to safe and healthy work; governments should work together to ensure safe and healthy work; employers and workers should be involved in creating and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace; everyone should have access to the right training, knowledge, and skills to make sure their work environment is safe and healthy; regular and effective risk assessment and workplace inspections should be carried out to identify problems and how to fix them; workers should be able to report and raise issues about safety and health without fear of any form of punishment or discrimination; employers should provide resources and support to help create a safe and healthy work environment; and workers should be provided with medical and social protection from work-related injuries and illnesses. The Seoul Declaration is an important step in helping to create and maintain a safe and healthy workplace for people all over the world.
