In collaboration with ILO, Thailand has become the first Asian country to sign the Work in Fishing Convention Treaty, which protects the work and live of fishers across the country.
The Work in Fishing Convention sets out binding requirements relating to work on board fishing vessels, including occupational safety and health, medical care at sea and ashore, rest periods, written work agreements, and social security protection. It also aims to ensure that fishing vessels provide decent living conditions for fishers on board.
