April 28, 2015 - International Labour Organization (ILO) announced April 28 as the World Day of Labour Safety and Health at Work  in order to attract the world's attention to the scale of the problem, as well as to the way in which the creation and promotion of a safety culture can contribute reduction in annual mortality in the workplace. It was first celebrated in 2003. The idea of holding the World Safety Day originates from Memorial Day workers, for the first time conducted by American and Canadian workers in 1989 in memory of workers killed or injured on the job. On this day, more than one hundred countries around the world carried out activities aimed at raising awareness of the unsolved problems of labour safety. In Ukraine this day is called "World Day for Labour Safety" and is celebrated by the Presidential Decree number 685/2006 of 18 August 2006 on April 28 every year.

«Together we will improve the culture of prevention in occupational safety » — The theme of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work in 2015.

The National Labour Safety Culture - this is respect for the right to safe and healthy working conditions at all levels, when governments, employers and workers are actively involved in ensuring a safe and healthy working environment, clearly defining rights and responsibilities, and when the principle of prevention is given the highest priority.
