Dear Sirs,

We have been informed by the global trade union federation, the IUF, that the Ministry of Labour of Brazil is considering withdrawing or amending NR36, the regulations governing health and safety in the meat industry.

NR 36 is critical to protecting the safety of workers in a hazardous industry where repetitive strain injuries, amputations, cuts, falls, stress, and exposure to zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens are regular occurrences. In the midst of a global pandemic, when crowded workplaces, cold and humid working conditions, lack of appropriate PPE and poor ventilation have combined to cause death or illness to hundreds of thousands of workers and their families, we demand that workplace health and safety regulations be maintained to protect workers from harm.

As the International Labour Organization (ILO) prepares to discuss declaring health and safety a Fundamental Principle and Right at Work, we remind you that NR 36 is in compliance with ILO standards and must not be weakened.

We urge you to oppose proposals to amend or withdraw NR 36.
