Today, we celebrate World Health and Safety Day, a day when people around the world can reflect on their role in creating a positive safety and health culture.
Each year, World Health and Safety Day is celebrated around the globe, with activities ranging from awareness raising events and conferences to training sessions, road traffic safety campaigns and school-based programs designed to help prevent workplace injuries, diseases and fatalities.
World Health and Safety Day is an opportunity for us to build a culture of health and safety where the people's health and well-being are placed at the heart of decision-making in the workplace. It's a chance to talk about our aspirations for healthy and safe workplaces and homes, identify actions that can prevent illness and accidents, protect our most vulnerable groups, including young people, as well as promote good work practices.
The benefits of integrating a health and safety culture into your organisation are far-reaching, including reduced risk of accidents, higher productivity and a better work environment.
Act together to build a positive safety and health culture!
