2006: DECENT WORK
- SAFE WORK - HIV/AIDS
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is intended
to focus international attention on promoting and creating decent, safe
work. The ILO aims to reduce the number of work-related deaths each year,
including those resulting from HIV/AIDS, and to make work decent by
eliminating workplace stigma and discrimination related to HIV/AIDS. This
year, as in previous years, tripartite events are taking place world wide,
and a number of products are available from this web page to support those
efforts. You are invited to join us in promoting this important
day.

History of 28 April
In 2003, the ILO
began to observe World Day stressing the prevention of illness and
accidents at work, capitalizing on its traditional strengths of
tripartism and social dialogue. 28 April is also a day the world's
trade union movement has long associated with commemorating victims
of occupational accidents and disease.
