World Day for Safety and Health at Work
At YourGP, we believe every employee should feel safe and protected at work. And that is why our Occupational Health team works with businesses across Edinburgh and beyond providing guidance and support on how to make a range of reasonable adjustments designed to have a positive impact on working environments. On 28th April, we’re encouraging as many of those businesses as possible to mark World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Read on to discover why…
The beginnings of World Day for Safety and Health at Work
World Day for Safety and Health at Work is observed annually on 28th April to encourage the prevention of workplace accidents and diseases around the world. The day was created by the International Labour Organization (ILO), a tripartite UN agency that brings together government, employer and worker representatives from 187 Member States to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes to promote decent work for all women and men – because “a safe and healthy working environment is a fundamental principle and right at work”.
Who should observe World Day for Safety and Health at Work?
We all have a part to play. Governments, public health bodies, employers, workers… this day is a day for everyone to come together to ensure all workplaces are fully protect safeguarded.
Topics for discussion
The first step towards achieving a safe, happy and healthy working environment is to foster a culture of inclusion where open dialogue is actively encouraged.
Do your team members…
- Know their rights?
- Have full confidence in the safety of their surroundings?
- Have relevant protection so they are not in danger or pose a danger to others?
- Feel comfortable raising any concerns about potential risks or hazards?
Discussions based on these questions can help to create a happier, more productive and fulfilling working environment, enabling individuals and businesses to flourish. It can even help to reduce the number of work-related injuries and deaths.

I was visiting with my son from California, US and he became ill. It was such a relief to find you and receive such expert care. He was diagnosed with bronchitis and we were given antibiotics right on the spot. My son was better in a few days and able to enjoy the remainder of our stay. Thank you very much. I highly recommend AND the location is beautiful. For any out-of-town folks it is a must-see!
