A Labor consultant, Mr. Austin Gameh has tasked employers to put the safety and health of the workers first ahead of monetary and profit gains.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the news desk to mark this year\u2019s world safety and health day, he bemoaned the lack of occupational safety in most work places contravening the various provisions in the labor act of Ghana and called for stringent measures to check his short fall.<\/p>\n

According to the International Labor Organization, (ILO), workers suffer approximately 270 million occupational accidents that lead to absences from work for three days or more, and fall victim to some 160 million incidents of work-related disease each year.<\/p>\n

Approximately 4% of the world\u2019s gross domestic product is lost with the cost of injury, death and disease through absence from work, sickness treatment, disability and survivor benefits.<\/p>\n

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an international annual commemoration held on 28th April each year, to promote safe, healthy and decent work. Since 2003, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has been observing this day, stressing the prevention of accidents and illnesses at work.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year is \u2018\u2019Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS): A tool for continual improvement\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
