Governments, employers, workers and their organizations face enormous challenges as they try to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and protect safety and health at work. Beyond the immediate crisis, there are also concerns about resuming activity in a manner that sustains progress made in suppressing transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The World Day for Safety and Health at Work will focus on addressing the outbreak of infectious diseases at work, focussing on the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to stimulate national tripartite dialogue on safety and health at work. The ILO is using this day to raise awareness on the adoption of safe practices in workplaces and the role that occupational safety and health (OSH) services play. It will also focus on the medium to long-term, including recovery and future preparedness, in particular, integrating measures into OSH management systems and policies at the national and enterprise levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original and exclusive think pieces on the OSH response to the Covid-19 pandemic from the global OSH community<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/events-training\/events-meetings\/world-day-safety-health-at-work\/WCMS_742059\/lang--en\/index.htm\">Good jobs to minimize the impact of Covid-19 on health inequity\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/events-training\/events-meetings\/world-day-safety-health-at-work\/WCMS_742060\/lang--en\/index.htm\">Work at the Sharp End: Human factors\/ergonomics for protecting healthcare workers and patients\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/events-training\/events-meetings\/world-day-safety-health-at-work\/WCMS_742061\/lang--en\/index.htm\">Work from home: Human factors\/ergonomics considerations for teleworking\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/events-training\/events-meetings\/world-day-safety-health-at-work\/WCMS_742062\/lang--en\/index.htm\">Covid-19: How do OSH professionals impact public-policy?\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/topics\/safety-and-health-at-work\/events-training\/events-meetings\/world-day-safety-health-at-work\/WCMS_742063\/lang--en\/index.htm\">The new world battleground with Covid-19: Challenges, partnerships, impact and business<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need special measures to protect the millions of health care workers and other workers who risk their own health for us every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeleworking offers new opportunities for workers to keep working&#8230; However, workers must be able to negotiate these arrangements so that they retain balance with other responsibilities, such as caring for children, the sick or the elderly, and of course themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ILO Director-General, Guy Ryder<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Please note that the world day theme announced earlier for 2020 on violence and harassment in the world of work has been replaced in view of the current global crisis.
