World
Day for
Safety and Health at Work
An Annual Event
2005: CREATING AND SUSTAINING A PREVENTATIVE SAFETY AND HEALTH CULTURE
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is intended to focus international attention on promoting and creating a preventative safety and health culture at work and to help reduce the number of work-related deaths each year. This year, as in previous years, tripartite events are taking place world wide, and a number of products are available from this web page. You are invited to join us in promoting this important day.
The over-arching theme for this year continues to be a preventative safety and health culture, but this year with a special emphasis on prevention. There are two further sub-themes to choose from:
- construction health and safety
- younger and older workers' needs for occupational health and safety.
The following products are available via the website:

Fact Sheet
In 2003, the ILO began to observe World Day stressing the prevention of illness and accidents at work, capitalizing on its traditional strengths of tripartism and social dialogue. 28 April is also a day the world's trade union movement has long associated with commemorating victims of occupational accidents and disease.
