2022 World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workers’ Memorial Day

Posted on Apr 7 2022 by Peter Hallows

The 28th of April 2022 is World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workers' Memorial Day – a day for reflecting on how occupational deaths, injuries, diseases and illnesses can better be prevented.

Every two days in Australia, a worker will go to work and never come home, and 120,355 total serious injury claims were made in 2019/20 alone.

The theme set by the International Labour Organisation for this year's World Day for Safety and Health at Work is ‘Act together to build a positive safety and health culture’.

Do your part towards keeping the University a safe place for everyone by:

  • Reporting incidents, near misses and hazards through UniSafe
  • Calling out unsafe behaviour in the workplace
  • Starting discussions about health and safety, particularly if you work in a high-risk area such as lab or workshop
