Come together to recognize and celebrate World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28! This international holiday was created in 2003 by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to promote safer and healthier working conditions in all workplaces around the world. This is an important event as it not only raises awareness about worker safety, but also helps to create better policies and legislation that will ensure workers are safe from any potential harm or danger. It's a great opportunity to show your support for workplace safety by recognizing those who have worked hard to make this happen!
Bring together different health and safety professionals, like medical professionals, ergonomists, and occupational therapists, to provide information and answer questions to employees.

Gather staff for a meeting to discuss safety protocols and procedures, review emergency procedures, and make sure everyone is up-to-date on the latest safety regulations.
Encourage employees to come up with creative ideas for workplace safety improvements by offering a prize for the best idea.
Encourage employees to take breaks throughout the day, stretch their legs and get some fresh air in order to reduce stress levels and increase productivity.
