WORLD DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK 2023

World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2023 explored the topic of a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and right at work.

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is celebrated annually on 28 April to promote the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally. It is an awareness-raising campaign intended to focus international attention on the magnitude of the problem and on how promoting and creating a safety and health culture can help reduce the number of work-related deaths and injuries.

In June 2022, the International Labour Conference (ILC) decided to include “a safe and healthy working environment” in the ILO’s framework of fundamental principles and rights at work.

Freetown Terminal Limited being a committed institution to keeping all its employees safe and healthy, celebrated this day to raise awareness. Blood donation and drills were conducted to practically showcase safety measures to attendees
