On 6 July, a workshop was held in Majdanpek, organised by the Independent Trade Union Association of Serbia. The workshop was dedicated to the improvement of working conditions focused on the preservation of health and safety of workers.

A representative of the Rudnik company – their executive director, Zoran Nedeljkovic, took part in the workshop with the topic “Examples of good practice in application of the Law and by-laws in the field of safety and health at work”. The example of good practice, large number of prizes and awards in the field of safety and health at work, as well as ideas and initiatives carried out in the Rudnik company will serve as the work support of trade union work group representatives for the amendments of legislative acts and compliance with the directive 391.

A successful implementation of the measures for safety and health at work and introduction of high standards are possible, as seen in the case of the Rudnik company, hence for the example of good practice it was suggested for the example in the field of HSW of the Rudnik company to be entered into the HSW manual, which shall be designed within two projects with AFL-CIO (American solidarity centre) and Solidar Suisse-SLA (Swiss Labour Assistance agency).
