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 had been at this practice since late 2018. The staff have been nothing but amazing! The care given here has to be the best care I’ve ever received at any practice. Very polite, greeted with a smile and always made sure you were comfortable.
The response times are extremely quick, always on that day or early next morning, pointing you into the right direction. Even if they were unable to assist, they would always make sure you knew where to go and what to do.
Your appointments are always accommodated to your needs, some imes I was unable to make my routine appointments in person so they would happily offer a Skype call which made things easier as I live a few hours away, but was always happy to make the trip when I could as it was always a pleasant experience.
I cannot thank this practice enough for the help that they gave me, I now feel confident and comfortable with myself and I would definitely recommend their services!
