Themed days. This year, the theme will focus on exploring the impacts of climate change on occupational safety and health. Changing weather patterns have notable impacts on the world of work, particularly affecting workers’ safety and health.

It shows you take health and safety in the workplace seriously and are not just viewing it as a tick box exercise, but a foundation of good business practice. Your employees will feel their safety is valued, and due to the fact that this year’s theme is on a hot topic, climate change, you can demonstrate your environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials.
