Safety Day Celebrations

The annual World Day for Safety and Health at Work is celebrated on 28th April. This year’s theme ensures everyone contributes to a safe and healthy working culture. About 2.78 million work-related deaths are recorded annually, of which 87% are related to occupational diseases. Safety and health measures at work can save lives. And this World day for Safety and Health at Work, We pledge to continue our effort to keep our work and our employees safe, healthy, and protected physically & mentally.

Eight Ways to Enhance Health & Wellbeing in the Workplace

1). Putting People First

A company culture that’s geared to the well-being of everyone will pay dividends. Your team will feel valued and motivated to go the extra mile.

2). Address Stress

Engage with your employees through one-to-ones and encourage conversation around mental health.

3). Confidence & Communication

Adopt an open-door policy, so staff feels comfortable sharing ideas, concerns, and areas for improvement.

4). Combat Presenteeism

Encourage unwell staff to stay at home – health comes first. Taking a sick day means they’ll recover quicker and won’t transmit illness to others in your team.

5). Recognize Any Safety Gaps

Learn from past experiences and review your safety policy. Are there any safety gaps?

6). Encourage a Healthy Lifestyle

Physical activity can boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality, and energy and reduce stress. A healthy team = a healthy business!

7). Covid – Adjust to a New Normal

Build immunity across your business by encouraging flexible or remote working and healthy office practices.

8). Keep learning

Never stop learning; equip your workforce with the right PPE and invest in their training to keep them compliant, protected, and well at work.
