Important week for Safety and Health at Work

This week is very important for Safety and Health at Work around the World. Today, 28th of April, is the “World Day for Safety and Health at Work”, this year with the theme "Managing Risk in the Work Environment". On this day, many events and conferences will take place around the world, and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) will be under the spotlight, at least for one day.

On Thursday, we will celebrate 1st of May, an occasion to look back and see the many advances achieved in OSH in different countries.

However, recent tragedies like the one in Casablanca last week, with at least 55 workers dead, reminds us that there is still a lot to do to spread OSH around the world.

Healthy Workplace Initiative

Healthy Workplace Initiative (HWI) is a great initiative from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) aimed at improving working conditions in the new EU member states.
