World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2022: Every year April 28 is observed as World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The day was declared by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to prevent accidents and deaths in the workplace, across the globe. Since employees and workers spend most of their time at the organisation where they work in order to make money, it is important to create awareness regarding their safety and health at work. Therefore, this day is observed. This year’s theme for World Day for Safety and Health at Work has been chosen as: ‘Participation and Social Dialogue in creating a Positive Safety and Health Culture’. Meanwhile, take a look at inspirational quotes and messages along with images that you can share with your co-workers, family and friends, and also use them as WhatsApp and Facebook statuses.
