World Day for Safety and Health at Work observed globally today

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is being observed today globally. This day focuses on preventing work-related accidents and diseases, raising awareness, and fostering a positive safety culture. In 2003, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) began to observe this day in order to stress the prevention of accidents and diseases at work. The theme for this year focuses on “good psychosocial working environments, which is a pathway to thriving workers and strong organisations”. The theme highlights preventing psychosocial risks like stress, burnout, and harassment.
