World Day for Safety and Health at Work

Calendars of different countries: US Holidays
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an annual international campaign to promote safe, healthy and decent work. It is held on 28 April and has been observed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) since 2003.
28 April has also long been associated with the world’s trade union movement’s commemoration of the victims of occupational accidents and diseases.
In recent years, there has been growing attention to the impact of psychosocial risks and work-related stress among researchers, practitioners and policymakers. Work-related stress is now generally acknowledged as global issue affecting all countries, all professions and all workers both in developed and developing countries. In this complex context, the workplace is at the same time an important source of psychosocial risks and the ideal venue to address them in order to protect the health and well-being of workers.
The 2020 World Day for safety and health at work will focus on violence and harassment in the world of work. Workplace violence and harassment is a significant and ongoing threat to worker health and safety, as well as to organizational productivity and reputation.
