A day to think of the safety of our workers


TODAY, April 28, is recognised annually by the International Labour Organisation(ILO) as the World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The theme for 2020 is “Stop the pandemic: Safety and health at work can save lives”.

Today is the day for us to reflect on this unprecedented pandemic and lockdowns of various forms implemented globally. The health and economic impacts from lockdowns are enormous. Frontliners like healthcare workers face immense challenges working under severe constraints. ILO director- general Guy Rydee aptly said: “We need special measures to protect the millions of healthcare workers and other workers who risk their own health for us every day.”
