South Koreans In Safety Deal for Cambodian Migrant Workers

The government and South Korea signed an agreement yesterday on the occupational safety and health of Cambodian workers in three different sectors. The signing ceremony of the 3rd Technical Cooperation Agreement on Occupational Safety and Health was held yesterday between the Labor Ministry and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for 2017-2019.
 

Labor Minister Ith Samheng said after the ceremony that both parties would expand cooperation by focusing on three important sectors. First was the industrial sector and the emphasis on a safe work environment, sanitation and a safety system in the workplace. It would also focus on the transportation of workers and ensuring the safe use of liquid chemicals.
 

Mr. Samheng said the second sector was construction where the South Korean side would share experience to ensure labor safety on construction projects. He added that the third sector was mining without going into detail. “The agreement shows that South Korea is still paying attention to Cambodia, especially hoping to improve the relationship between both countries in the future,” he said.

More maids from Cambodia next year

 

Maid agencies plan to bring in 1,000 to 1,200 maids from Cambodia next year - three times the number now in Singapore. The Manpower Ministry approved Cambodia as the 13th and latest source country for domestic workers in October.

 

Ms K. Jayaprema, who oversees the 340-strong Association of Employment Agencies Singapore, said yesterday that these figures were "a conservative estimate" and more could be recruited in future. A lukewarm pilot programme that began in 2013 saw six agencies struggle to recruit 400 domestic workers because of factors like the language barrier.

 

"That was to be expected - teething problems that arise with a new source country that some may be sceptical about," said Ms Jayaprema. "But as more agencies get on board, employers will also slowly become more familiar with Cambodian maids." To tackle the language barrier, agencies are focusing on training new workers and helping them learn English.
