World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2024
Every 28 April, the International Labour Organization commemorates the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, focusing on a timely theme related to occupational safety and health.

This year, the theme will focus on exploring the impacts of climate change on occupational safety and health.

Changing weather patterns have notable impacts on the world of work, particularly affecting workers safety and health. Examples of occupational risks exacerbated by climate change include heat stress, UV radiation, air pollution, major industrial accidents, extreme weather events, an increase in vector-borne diseases and increased exposure to chemicals.

The ILO will produce several materials for the World Day 2024, including a report, report at a glance and a PowerPoint. These materials will be released on the 23 April.

A global event with experts and guest speakers from governments, employers and workers to discuss how to protect workers and respond to this global challenge, will take place on Thursday 25 April 2024 at 13:30 CET on https://live.ilo.org/
