Summary

This Handbook for Employers and Business provides excellent practical tools and guidance to enable business and its organisations to identify and prevent situations of forced labour. The International Organisation of Employers commends the efforts of the ILO Special Action Programme on Forced Labour on its first initiative to develop a set of practical tools specifically for the private sector. The IOE has been closely involved in this initiative and we are certain that this Handbook will be of great assistance in helping employer organisations and their members understand the issue of forced labour, in taking the necessary measures to avoid being involved in those situations and in contributing to the total elimination of forced and compulsory labour.
