World Safety and Health at Work Day takes place every year on 28 April and is an initiative of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), to raise awareness of workers and their never ending plight for better working conditions. Linked to this is the ‘Worker’s Memorial Day’. This is a day of remembrance, led by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), for all of the workers around the world who have been seriously injured or died on the job.
