World Day for Safety and Health at Work

The celebration consists in an international annual campaign to promote the safe work, healthy and decent that culminates on 28 April.

In June 2003, the International Labour Conference discussed the International Labour Organization’s standards-related activities in the area of occupational safety and health. The discussion took place in the context of the tripartite Committee on Occupational Safety and Health comprising 104 Government members, 37 Employer members and 58 Worker members.

Ever since it was founded in 1919, the subject of occupational safety and health has been at the heart of the ILO’s work, including its standards-setting activities.
