World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2023

A safe and healthy working environment is a fundamental principle and right at work

A safe and healthy working environment is a fundamental principle and right at work

In June 2022, the International Labour Conference (ILC) decided to include “a safe and healthy working environment” in the ILO’s framework of fundamental principles and rights at work.

On 28 April 2023, the ILO celebrated this decision, bringing together experts and constituents to discuss the implications it has for the world of work, as well as how to practically implement this right in the world of work. The event also served to present the findings of research on the implementation status of various provisions of the fundamental Conventions No. 155 and No. 187.
How can we promote the fundamental right to a safe and healthy working environment?
