World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2024: Date, history, significance and all that you need to know

World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2024: A workplace should be safe, healthy and ideal for work. An ideal workplace always focuses on the importance of escalating work quality. However, we should be mindful of the culture we are creating at our place of work. An employee spends a chunk of his or her day at their workplace and hence, it is important to create a healthy workspace where they feel happy to work, and more importantly, safe in being themselves. A toxic workplace can rob an employee of their mental, physical and emotional health. This further leads to deteriorating work quality. We should be extremely cautious of the work culture we are creating and ensure a healthy space for people to work. This also results in happier employees and a steep rise in work quality. Every year, World Day for Safety and Health at Work is observed to reinstate the importance of creating a healthy space. As we gear up to celebrate the day, here are a few things to keep in mind.
