The theme of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28, 2022, is to foster a positive safety and health culture through collective efforts.
Various events will be held in the regions of the Vitebsk region to draw attention to the fact that a robust occupational safety and health system, functioning with the active participation of authorities, employers, employees, healthcare professionals, and all stakeholders, plays a crucial role in maintaining normal working conditions and ensuring the safety and health of workers.
Each year, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is dedicated to global issues facing employers and workers, and is held under different mottos.
The main objective is that social dialogue and the involvement of all stakeholders are of paramount importance for fostering a positive safety and health culture.
April 28 is a day to commemorate workers who have died, been injured, or contracted occupational diseases as a result of hazardous, unhealthy, and unacceptable working conditions.
Effective social dialogue allows authorities and social partners to actively participate in the decision-making process in the field of occupational safety and health.
Social dialogue not only contributes to the development of more effective policies and strategies in occupational safety and health but also makes a decisive contribution to strengthening the responsibility and interest of the parties, thereby promoting the prompt and more effective implementation of adopted decisions.
A positive safety and health culture is built on engagement, which means the active participation of all parties in the continuous improvement of occupational safety and health.
A positive safety and health culture in the workplace means that managers and employees equally value a safe and healthy working environment and strive to ensure it.
