Raise awareness of how to make work safe and healthy.
The celebration of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 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. In 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. 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. April 28th is also the International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers organized worldwide by the trade union movement since 1996.
