World Day for Safety and Health at Work
In 2003, the International Labour Organization declared the first World Day for Safety and Health at Work. In 2020, the World was awakened to find that many countries were ill-prepared to respond to a global crisis. This crisis, COVID-19 took the world by storm and highlighted the fact that much more was required to ensure the workplace is safe and its workers are healthy. Unity and cooperation were ignited and forced employers, employees, and government agencies to discover solutions to combat the plague.
This year’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work theme, Anticipate, prepare, and respond to a crisis: Invest Now in Resilient Occupational Safety and Health Systems is more relevant than ever. There is a pressing need to mitigate the spread of this virus in the workplace and reduce the risk of transmitting it to others.
Just as the government is responsible for providing laws and services to protect the lives of employees, each of us is responsible for preventing workplace injuries.
