World OSH Day 2023: Highlighting everybody’s right to work in a safe and healthy environment

May 2023

Taking place annually on 28 April and organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO), this year’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work advocates for a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and right at work.

Within EU-OSHA, this celebration is framed under principle number 10 of the European Pillar of Social Rights. It recognises that having a healthy, safe and well-adapted work environment is essential to achieving a strong, fair and inclusive social Europe.

If you want to learn more about the importance of occupational safety and health (OSH), let our hero NAPO guide you.

Developing a prevention culture across companies in Europe and improving working conditions for every worker is key to make workplaces safer and more productive.
