The National Employment Council for the Engineering and Iron and Steel Industry has an industry policy on Health and HIV & AIDS.
The policy provides a framework and sets standards for the effective prevention and management of HIV and AIDS. This is especially important as the Engineering, Iron and Steel Industry is male-dominated and at times involves high mobility. The policy articulates strategies on how to address specific issues such as upholding confidentiality and ensuring gender equality, and outlines the specific roles of the various stakeholders in this Industry in HIV/AIDS response.
