April 28 – World Day for Safety and Health at Work

At the initiative of the International Labour Organization, April 28 is marked every year as the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, aiming to promote the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases at work. The theme of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work in 2026 is “Let’s ensure a healthy psychosocial working environment.” 
It highlights that the psychosocial work environment is shaped by work organization, management, and daily working conditions.
Today, it is increasingly evident that workers’ health depends not only on physical conditions but also on workplace relations and management culture. The way work is organized, how clearly responsibilities are defined, how workload is distributed, and the level of support provided to workers directly affect their mental and physical well-being.
Unfavorable psychosocial conditions can lead to tension, stress, and reduced work capacity. If these factors are not assessed and managed in a timely manner, they turn into real risks, affecting both the health of the worker and the overall efficiency of the organization. Therefore, it is essential that employers consider the management of psychosocial risks as an integral part of the occupational safety and health system.
The Confederation of Trade Unions of Armenia emphasizes the importance of creating a working environment where fairness and mutual respect are ensured. Only a systematic and responsible approach can ensure stable, safe and decent working conditions.
