SUMMARY:World Day for Safety and Health at Work
DESCRIPTION:A safe and healthy working environment is a fundamental principle and right at work\nIn 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. \nOn 28 April 2023\, the ILO celebrates 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. \nIt also serves to present the findings of research on the implementation status of various provisions of the fundamental Conventions No. 155 and No. 187. \n\nBackground\nIn 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. \nThis celebration is an integral part of the Global Strategy on Occupational Safety and Health of the ILO\, as documented in the Conclusions of the International Labour Conference in June 2003. One of the main pillars of the Global Strategy is advocacy\, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is a significant tool to raise awareness of how to make work safe and healthy and of the need to raise the political profile of occupational safety and health. \n28 April is also the International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers organized worldwide by the trade union movement since 1996. \n\nPrevention of occupational accidents and diseases\nThe annual World Day for Safety and Health at Work on 28 April promotes the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally. It is an awareness-raising campaign intended to focus international attention on the magnitude of the problem and on how promoting and creating a safety and health culture can help reduce the number of work-related deaths and injuries. \nEach of us is responsible for stopping deaths and injuries on the job. As governments we are responsible for providing the infrastructure — laws and services — necessary to ensure that workers remain employable and that enterprises flourish; this includes the development of a national policy and programme and a system of inspection to enforce compliance with occupational safety and health legislation and policy. As employers we are responsible for ensuring that the working environment is safe and healthy. As workers we are responsible to work safely and to protect ourselves and not to endanger others\, to know our rights and to participate in the implementation of preventive measures. \n\nEmerging risks at work\nNew and emerging occupational risks may be caused by technical innovation or by social or organizational change\, such as: \n\nNew technologies and production processes\, e.g. nanotechnology\, biotechnology\nNew working conditions\, e.g. higher workloads\, work intensification from downsizing\, poor conditions associated with migration for work\, jobs in the informal economy\nEmerging forms of employment\, e.g. self-employment\, outsourcing\, temporary contracts\n\nThey may be more widely recognized through better scientific understanding\, e.g. the effects of ergonomic risks on musculoskeletal disorders. \nThey may be influenced by changes in perceptions about the importance of certain risk factors\, e.g. the effects of psychosocial factors on work-related stress. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
