Is it OK to lock workers inside for the night in order to make sure that the workers are not stealing?
Workers should not be locked in enterprises. The ILO advocates taking a “zero tolerance” approach to confinement at the workplace.4 Furthermore, locking workers in a factory is clearly contrary to occupational health and safety principles. If there is an accident it may result in civil liability for personal injury. Locking workers in a factory may also constitute under national law a criminal offence or civil tort of false imprisonment. While it is legitimate for a company to take steps to secure its property, alternative means should be explored. The national employers’ and workers’ organizations may have useful suggestions about effective alternative approaches.
