Celebrating World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2025: Building a Safer Future Together

At G & A Safety Supplies, health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. Today, April 28th, 2025, we proudly join businesses, workers, and communities worldwide in recognising World Day for Safety and Health at Work — a day dedicated to promoting safe, healthy, and dignified working conditions for everyone.

Why World Day for Safety and Health at Work Matters

Started by the International Labour Organization (ILO), this annual event reminds us that every worker deserves a safe and healthy working environment. With over 2.78 million workplace deaths and countless injuries each year globally, the importance of strong health and safety systems has never been clearer.

This year's theme, "Building a Resilient Safety Culture: Preparing for the Future", highlights the need for businesses of all sizes to invest in a proactive safety mindset — not just reacting to incidents, but preventing them through better planning, communication, and equipment.

What a "Resilient Safety Culture" Means

A resilient safety culture means more than ticking compliance boxes. It’s about:

  • Open communication: Encouraging staff to speak up about hazards without fear.

  • Continuous training: Regularly updating knowledge and skills for all team members.

  • Proper equipment: Ensuring PPE and safety gear are high-quality, properly fitted, and readily available.

  • Risk management: Identifying potential risks before they become incidents.

At G & A Safety Supplies, we believe resilience starts with equipping workplaces with the right tools and the right training. Whether it’s protective clothing, respiratory equipment, first aid supplies, or janitorial solutions for a cleaner, safer environment — we're here to help you build a safety-first workplace.

How You Can Get Involved

World Day for Safety and Health at Work isn’t just for health and safety managers — it’s for everyone! Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Review your workplace safety procedures. Are they up to date?

  • Host a "safety moment" — a quick team chat about common risks and how to avoid them.

  • Check your PPE stock. Is anything out of date, damaged, or missing?

  • Celebrate safe behaviour. Recognise employees who contribute to a safer environment.

  • Partner with local suppliers like G & A Safety Supplies to upgrade your workplace protection.

A Commitment to the Future

At G & A Safety Supplies, we're committed to supporting businesses across Haverhill and beyond with reliable, affordable safety solutions. Today, and every day, we celebrate the heroes who make workplaces safer — from frontline workers to business owners and health and safety reps.

Let’s work together to create safer, healthier workplaces for everyone — not just today, but every day.

Stay safe,
The G & A Safety Supplies Team
