OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH DAY – APRIL 28, 2023

United States

 * Observe

The World Day for Safety and Health at Work, also known as Occupational Health
and Safety Day, is observed annually on April 28 to encourage the prevention of
workplace accidents and diseases around the world. It is a public awareness
campaign aimed at drawing international attention to the extent of work-related
accidents and how encouraging and cultivating safety and health culture can help
reduce the number of deaths and injuries at work.


HISTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH DAY

Regulation and research in occupational safety and health are relatively recent
developments. In response to worker concerns, labor movements emerged in the
years after the industrial revolution. The health dangers caused by chemicals,
dust, metals, and other disease-causing variables that workers in more than 50
different vocations must contend with were discussed in “De Morbis Diatriba,”
which was published in 1700. Early 19th-century concerns about the poor health
of children working in cotton mills led to the enactment of the Factory Acts in
the United Kingdom.

The Factory Inspectorate Act of 1833 established a dedicated professional
factory inspection service. In 1844, a new act was passed in response to the
factory inspectorate’s request, limiting the number of hours that women in the
textile industry might work. Machine guarding was mandated by industry, but only
in the textile sector and in areas where women or children might be present.

When a Royal Commission’s findings on the working conditions for miners were
published in 1840, they made clear the dangerous working conditions and high
accident rates. The 1842 Mines Act was enacted as a result of the public outcry
the commission caused. The statute created a mining inspectorate, leading to
prosecutions and increased security. By 1850, inspectors were free to enter and
inspect locations as they pleased. Both the first worker’s compensation law and
the first social insurance law in the Western world were signed by Otto von
Bismarck in 1883 and 1884, respectively.

WHY OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH DAY IS IMPORTANT


 1. IT CREATES AWARENESS
    
    Occupational Health and Safety Day is an international awareness-raising
    campaign that raises awareness of the seriousness of work-related injuries,
    diseases, and fatalities. It emphasizes the necessity of establishing and
    promoting good workplace safety and health culture.


 2. IT PREVENTS UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS
    
    A report showed that 50% of work-related accidents and injuries can easily
    be avoided. With proper safety measures in place, a safe and healthy working
    environment would prevent unnecessary loss of lives.


 3. IT INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY
    
    Employees who are in good health are more productive at work. When
    occupational health and safety are properly implemented, employees will feel
    safe and inspired to work since they will be safeguarded and their safety
    and health will not be jeopardized.
