To ensure safe working conditions that include protective gear, regular breaks, and measures to protect workers from extreme weather. For example: Guidelines have been issued in India to promote fair treatment and grievance redressal mechanisms, but these need to be strengthened. Establish independent labor courts and ensure they can resolve cases promptly and fairly.

It is also important to undertake skill development programs to enhance the employability and earning potential of workers. This should include training in financial literacy and digital skills.
