The International Labor Organization (ILO) is celebrating World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace 2026 under the motto “Let’s ensure a healthy psychosocial working environment“. This puts the spotlight on an issue that is becoming increasingly important in many companies. The aim of World Day 2026 is to highlight the extent to which stress, excessive demands and conflicts can have a negative impact on everyday life and to draw attention to why preventative support is so important.

World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace
History
28.04. is the World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace.
This day was established in 1984 by the International Labor Organization (ILO) with a focus on prevention. The aim is to show that most accidents at work are avoidable. The protection of employees is particularly emphasized on this day, as better prevention not only protects health, but also saves costs. Every year, this day has a different motto.
