Shwe Job is an app created by SMART Myanmar and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeith (GIZ) GmbH to teach garment factory workers about good practices for occupational safety & health in the factory and to increase awareness and knowledge of the existing labour laws in Myanmar. This app uses a combination of text, illustrations and voiceovers.

Shwe Job references Myanmar’s existing labour laws wherever possible, but also supplements in recommendations on occupational safety & health based on various international standards and best practices.
