Education and training is an integral part of AMRC’s work since 2005. The training programmes of AMRC can be varied in nature depending on the project concerned (e.g.) in areas of occupational safety and health where workers are made aware of the hazards at their workplace, for trade unions so that they can carry out training programmes on their own in areas like OSH, labour rights and other issues and capacity building of workers making them aware of their rights so that they can fight for better working conditions and not be exploited by the management. It also intends to provide capacity building to our partners on organising strategies, investigate, and explore the new forms of organising including using Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health as a tool for organising.
Training on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
AMRC carries out Training of Trainers ( ToT) with its partners and in the region. The first ToT was carried out in Cambodia and AMRC has been carrying out trainings of a similar nature in other countries. The goal of these trainings is to work with our partners in countries mainly in South East Asia and South Asia whether they be NGOs, trade unions or other OSH centres and make them the resource centre totally independent of AMRC eventually to carry OSH trainings, have core trainers in place in the institutions to be the key resource persons in the area and also make OSH a priority in the trade unions we are working with and finally to establish OSH committees in the factories and trade unions to serve the best interests of the workers.
In general, workers are not aware of their basic rights and they are completely exploited by low wages, poor working conditions, management that is totally exploitative and they do not know what their rights are to fight back. These training programmes target workers in such conditions and help build their knowledge thereby enabling them to fight for what is theirs.
