That adequate clothing be available for protection in bad weather and at altitude. This should include adequate footwear, hat, gloves, windproof jacket and trousers, sunglasses, and access to a blanket and pad above the snowline.
That sick porters never be sent down alone.
That sufficient funds be provided to the porter to cover the cost of their rescue and treatment.
That porters not be paid off because of illness without the leader or trekkers being informed.
That leaders and trekkers provide the same standard of medical care for porters as they would expect for themselves)
It is quite simple to be a supporter of IPPG:
Spread the word, step in and complain about perceived injustices, ask your travel or trekking agent about their policy on porter safety and complain loudly if this is not up to standard. Finally, if you go trekking: take care of your porter
