About World Day for Safety and Health at Work:
The ILO has in 2003 declared 28 April the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, focusing international attention on the magnitude of the problem and how promoting and creating a safety and health culture can help to reduce the number of work-related deaths each year. The trade union movement has organized the International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers worldwide since 1996 coordinated by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
*****************************************************************************
The theme for World Day for Safety and Health at Work – 28 April 2014 is "Safety and Health in the use of chemicals at work"
Continual development of production and use of the chemicals in workplace represents a real challenge for the society, as well as for the world of work. Finding appropriate balance between the benefits of chemical use and the preventive and control measures of potential adverse impact on workers, workplaces, communities and environment must represent a permanent concern and, in the same time, preoccupation for governments, employers and workers and their organizations. In this regard, concerted efforts must be orientated to offering a coherent global response to the continuous scientific and technological progress, global growth in chemicals production and changes in the organization of work in this field.
