World Day for Safety and Health at Work
On April 28th, we’re discussing World Day for Safety and Health at Work. It is an internationally observed day that aims to raise awareness and improvements for workers all over the world.
If you’re an employer, your staff’s well-being should be at the forefront of your business model. Unhappy, sick, absent staff does not bode well for a healthy business. Numerous aspects can be a worry to leaders and teams everywhere. From the impact of climate change on occupational safety and health that the United Nations is raising awareness to the International Labour Organization, who are discussing the effect of “how new technologies are transforming OSH, including through the automation of tasks, use of smart OSH tools and monitoring systems, extended reality and virtual reality and algorithmic management of work”.
World Day for Safety and Health at Work Focus
We all have enough to worry about as workers and leaders. World Day for Safety and Health at Work focuses primarily on preventing physical or emotional hazards. The goal is to prevent harm to people from work-related activities, but accidents do happen. A prepared team can often avoid risks, but some are simply unavoidable.
