This year, the Report focuses on managing risk in the work environment. All managers and workers need to think about how to control and reduce risks in their own workplaces to prevent injury and protect their safety and health. It highlights the need for governments, employers, workers and their representatives, as well as research and training institutions and international organizations to work together to reduce the vast human and economic burdens of work-related accidents and diseases.

The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an annual event, held on 28th April of each year. It aims to raise awareness about how to make work safe and healthy and the need to raise the political profile of occupational safety and health.

The ILO encourages its tripartite partners to organize activities at the national and entreprise levels using these promotional materials. Ideally events should involve both management and workers and be reported to press and media. Please also let the ILO know about your events by sending an e-mail to safeday@ilo.org.
