World day of health and safety at work

April 28th is a special day for safety and health at work around the world. People spend most of their time in the work environment and a changing world people are getting more and more involved in their work. Generally, there is a rule of working 8 hours a day, which is one-third of 24 hours. Even in the most ordinary cases, working people spend a third of their day at work, while in overtime or other deadlines, more time is spent in office or work. Moreover, those who go for foreign employment live abroad for many years, they spend most of their time in a working environment.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are aimed at improving the working environment for workers around the world by 8.08 out of 10. In 2003, the International Labour Organization (ILO), began to observe World Day in order to stress the prevention of accidents and diseases at work, capitalizing on the ILO's traditional strengths of tripartism and social dialogue.

28 April is also the International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers organized worldwide by the trade union movement since 1996.

The World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2021 focuses on leveraging the elements of an OSH system as set out in the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187). The world day report examines how the current crisis demonstrates the importance of strengthening these OSH systems, including occupational health services, at both the national and undertaking levels.
