by Leziel G. Bandiola, Bubot V. Sueta, and EB Lorenzo B. Lusica, APRIL 2022
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2022 will be commemorated on 28 April 2022, to help foster a positive safety and health culture.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen that having a strong OSH system, which includes meaningful participation of the government (local and national level), employers, workers, and medical front liners in all enterprises is crucial in protecting working environments and safeguarding the safety and health of workers.
At the workplace level, a strong OSH culture is one in which the right to a safe and healthy working environment is valued and promoted by both management and workers. A positive OSH culture is built on inclusion, through the meaningful involvement of all parties in the ongoing improvement of safety and health at work. In a workplace with a strong OSH culture, workers feel comfortable raising concerns about possible OSH risks or hazards in the workplace and management is proactive in collaborating with workers to find appropriate, effective, and sustainable solutions. It requires open communication built on trust and mutual respect.
As we continue to live through a global health crisis and face ongoing OSH risks in the world of work, we must continue to move toward building a strong safety and health culture at all levels.
The World Day will be commemorated on 28 April 2022 and will feature a Photo Contest and Poster making Contest open to all MPT South Employees.
