An ideal workspace should be healthy, safe, and conducive to work. Raising the calibre of work is always the main priority in an ideal workplace. Nonetheless, we have to be aware of the culture we are fostering at work. Since an employee spends a significant portion of their day at work, it's critical to establish a healthy work environment where they feel safe being themselves and, more importantly, happy to work. A toxic work environment can destroy a worker's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This causes the quality of the job to progressively decline.
We need to make sure that the workplace is a healthy place for people to work and exercise utmost caution in the culture we are fostering. In addition, happier workers produce work of a much higher calibre. The World Day for Safety and health at Work is commemorated annually to emphasize the value of establishing a healthy environment.
Date: April 28 is designated as World Day for Safety and health at Work each year. The big day falls on sunday this year.
History: The Occupational Safety and health Convention was ratified by the international Labour Organization on april 29, 1971. The international Labour Organization declared april 28 to be World Day for Safety and health at Work in 2003. The significant day has been commemorated on that day ever since.
