Since its foundation in 1919, the ILO has elaborated and adopted a large number of international

labour Conventions (and accompanying Recommendations) directly concerned with OSH issues, as well

as many codes of practice and technical publications on various aspects of the subject. They represent a

formidable body of definitions, principles, obligations, duties and rights, as well as technical guidance

reflecting the consensual views of the ILO's tripartite constituents from its 175 member States3 on most

aspects of occupational safety and health.
