Le Van Trinh

Professor Le Van Trinh is the Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Occupational Safety and Health. He has recently been in the news for advocating a gradual reduction of the standard working hours in Vietnam from 48 to 44 hours per week, and eventually to 40 hours, during a workshop organized by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. He emphasizes the need for this change to be enshrined in labor law to protect workers' health and well-being, especially in labor-intensive industries.
