28th April Holidays

The World Day for Safety and Health at Work was established by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2003 to promote safe, healthy, and decent work for all workers around the world. The day was created to raise awareness of the importance of occupational safety and health and to encourage governments, employers, workers, and other stakeholders to take action to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses.

The celebration of World Day for Safety and Health at Work can take many different forms, depending on the country, industry, and organization. Here are some ways that individuals and organizations might celebrate the day:

• Hold a safety training session or refresher course for employees on important safety and health topics.
• Organize a safety walk or inspection of the workplace to identify potential hazards and address them.
• Conduct a safety audit or review of policies and procedures to ensure they are up-to-date and effective.

• Hold a memorial or remembrance event for workers who have been injured or killed on the job.
