World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2025: Making Workplaces Safer, Together
Creating a culture of health and safety isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about embedding health and well-being into the DNA of your workplace. Here’s how to make a difference...
Each year on April 28th, organisations across the globe observe World Day for Safety and Health at Work — a day dedicated to promoting safe, healthy, appropriate working conditions and well-being. Recognised by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), this global event encourages businesses to create a culture of prevention, protecting employees from workplace accidents, illness, and long-term health risks.
What Is World Day for Safety and Health at Work?
Launched in 2003 by the ILO, World Safety Day is a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of workplace safety. It highlights key occupational safety challenges, advocates for better regulations, and champions proactive safety management—not just in high-risk industries, but in every workplace.
When Is World Day for Safety and Health at Work?
World Day for Safety and Health at Work is held annually on April 28th. It also coincides with the Workers' Memorial Day. Internationally, this day is dedicated to remembering workers who have tragically lost their lives, become disabled, or suffered injury or illness arising from unsafe work environments.
What Is the Focus for 2025?
In 2025, the focus remains on building a robust culture of prevention and resilience. As technology reshapes how we work and hybrid/remote models continue to grow, the scope of workplace health and safety has expanded. This year’s observance highlights how evolving workplaces can remain safe, inclusive, and secure.
The theme is decided annually by the International Labour Organisation, often in response to global trends, health challenges, or urgent safety needs. It serves as a rallying point for governments, businesses, and individuals to take tangible action.
