Every year, on April 28, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is celebrated. The International Labor Organization dedicates this day to a relevant topic. 

In 2024, it is “Ensuring safe and healthy work now in the face of climate change”.

Changing weather conditions significantly impact working conditions, increasing occupational risks for employees. Heat stress, air pollution, UV radiation, and other extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, increasing the risk of occupational diseases and accidents. 

The Department of Theory, Practice, and Translation of German joins the Day of Occupational Safety and Health celebration and organizes several events to draw attention to occupational safety and health issues, preventing accidents at work, and occupational diseases.
