World Day for Safety and Health at Work - Dr. Virendra Singh The 2023 World Day for Workplace Safety and Health will be observed on April 28, 2023, and will focus on the theme of “a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and right at work”. Every year on April 28, the International Day for Occupational Safety and Health is observed to encourage global prevention of industrial accidents and diseases. It is a public awareness campaign aimed at drawing international attention to the size of the problem and how encouraging and fostering a safety and health culture can help reduce the number of work-related deaths and injuries. The International Labour Organization (ILO) began observing World Day in 2003 to emphasize the avoidance of workplace accidents and diseases, leveraging the ILO's traditional strengths of tripartism and social discourse. HISTORY of World Day for Workplace Safety and Health

The International Labour Organization (ILO) first observed World Day in 2003 in order to avoid workplace accidents and infections. The day also coincides with the International Day of Remembrance for the Fallen and Injured Workers, which has been observed by the labor movement since 1996. Prevention of occupational accidents and diseases ● Occupational accidents and diseases can have a significant impact on workers, their families, and the workplace. Prevention of such accidents and diseases is crucial to ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for all workers. Employers have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure the safety and health of their employees in the workplace. This includes providing proper training, equipment, and resources to prevent accidents and diseases. Risk assessment is a critical part of preventing occupational accidents and diseases. Employers must identify potential hazards in the workplace and take measures to eliminate or control those hazards. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is another essential component of preventing occupational accidents and diseases. PPE includes items such as gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protection and can help protect workers from exposure to harmful substances and environments. Education and training of workers are also crucial in preventing occupational accidents and diseases. Workers must be aware of the risks in their work environment and how to properly use equipment and follow safety procedures to prevent accidents and diseases. ● ● ● ● Emerging risks at work Emerging and novel occupational hazards can arise due to technological advancements or changes in social or organizational practices, which may include: ● The introduction of new technologies and production processes, such as nanotechnology and biotechnology. Changes in working conditions, such as increased workloads, intensified work due to downsizing, poor conditions associated with work-related migration, and jobs in the informal economy. The rise of new forms of employment, including self-employment, outsourcing, and temporary contracts. ● ● Better scientific understanding can contribute to wider recognition of workplace risks, such as the correlation between ergonomic factors and musculoskeletal disorders. Similarly, changes in perceptions about the significance of certain risk factors, such as the influence of psychosocial factors on work-related stress, can also impact their recognition.

Timeline for Global Safety and Health at Work

● 1919 (The body to look into labor issues): As part of the Treaty of Versailles, which ends World War I, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is established. 1996 (A day to remember injured workers): The trade movement established an International Memorial Day for Dead and Wounded Workers. 2019 (The labor organization’s 100th anniversary): The ILO is celebrating its centennial year and working to improve workplace safety. 2022 (The annual gathering for workers): The International Day for Occupational Safety and Health is honored with a Global Webinar that encourages social debate. ● ● ● How is The World Day for Workplace Safety and Health observed? On April 28, many organizations such as the UN, ILO, communities, government entities, and individuals, concerned with workplace safety and health came together to promote an international campaign known as the International Day of Workplace Safety and Health. Every year, the United Nations publishes an event calendar. Also, community leaders and organizational representatives support the day by speaking out on concerns such as workplace health and safety measures, among others. Workplace health and safety programs are broadcast. "We need particular measures to protect the millions of healthcare workers and other personnel who put their health at risk every day for us," says Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Organization. Why we Appreciate World Safety and Health Day at Work 1. We get to learn - There is a lot to learn and consider when it comes to workplace safety and health. Recognizing workplace dangers that cause injuries is a smart place to start. 2. It’s universal - Unsafe workplaces are dangerous and thus undesirable. Safety and health are forms of social justice that every employee in the workplace is entitled to. 3. We get to practice - This national holiday serves as a reminder to embrace safe workplace practices. The ILO not only teaches us the necessity of a safe workplace, but it also stresses the need for us to use safety precautions in our daily activities. 5 Facts about World Day for Safety and Health at Work ● The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is observed every year on April 28th. It is an annual international campaign to promote safe, healthy, and decent working conditions. The International Labour Organization (ILO) initiated the observance of this day in 2003. The theme for the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2022 is "Anticipate, prepare and respond to crises – Invest Now in Resilient Occupational Safety and Health Systems." ●

● The day aims to raise awareness about occupational safety and health issues and the importance of preventing work-related injuries and illnesses. It also aims to promote the rights of workers to safe and healthy working conditions. The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is observed by governments, employers, workers, and other stakeholders in more than 150 countries worldwide. Activities to mark the day include seminars, workshops, exhibitions, and other events aimed at raising awareness about the importance of occupational safety and health. According to the International Labour Organization, every year, around 2.78 million workers die as a result of work-related accidents and diseases. Additionally, there are around 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses globally each year. The World Day for Safety and Health at Work aims to reduce these numbers and create safer and healthier workplaces for all. ● ●

Q&A: Tips for viewing the 2024 solar eclipse

Press contact :.

Previous image Next image

On Monday, April 8, the United States will experience a total solar eclipse — a rare astronomical event where the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth, blocking out the sun’s light almost completely. The last total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. was in 2017, and the next one won’t be until 2044.

If the weather cooperates, people across the United States — from northeastern Maine to southwestern Texas — will be able to observe the eclipse using protective eyewear. Those in the path of totality , where the moon entirely covers the sun, will have the best view, but 99% of people in the continental U.S. will be able to see a partial eclipse. Weather permitting, those on the MIT campus and the surrounding area will see 93 percent of the sun covered, with the partial eclipse starting at 2:15 p.m. and reaching its peak around 3:29 p.m. Gatherings are planned at the Kresge Oval and the MIT Museum , and a live NASA stream will be shown in the Building 55 atrium .

Brian Mernoff , manager of the CommLab in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is an accomplished astrophotographer and science educator. Mernoff is headed to Vermont with his family to experience the totality from the best possible angle — but has offered a few thoughts on how to enjoy the eclipse safely, wherever you are.

Q: What should viewers expect to see and experience with this solar eclipse?

A: When you’re watching TV (the sun) and your toddler, dog, or other large mammal (the moon) blocks your view, you no doubt move over a bit to try to get a partial or full view of the TV. This is exactly how the path of totality works for an eclipse. If you are exactly in line with the moon and sun, it will be completely blocked, but if you start moving away from this path, your view of the sun will start to increase until the moon is not in the way at all.

The closer you are to the path of totality, the more of the sun will be blocked. At MIT, about 93 percent of the sun will be blocked. Those in the area will notice that things around you will get slightly darker, just like when it starts to become overcast. Even so, the sun will remain very bright in the sky and solar glasses will be required to view the entirety of the eclipse. It really goes to show how incredibly bright the sun is!

Within the narrow path of totality, the moon will continue to move across the sun, reaching 100 percent coverage. For this short period of time, you can remove your glasses and see a black disk where the sun should be. Around the disk will be wispy white lines. This is the corona, the outermost part of the sun, which is normally outshone by the sun’s photosphere (surface). Around the edges of the black disk of the moon, right as totality begins and ends, you can also see bright spots around the edges, known as Bailey’s Beads, caused by sunlight shining between mountains and craters on the moon.

But that’s not all! Although you will be tempted to stare up at the sun throughout totality, do not forget to observe the world around you. During totality, it feels like twilight. There is a 360-degree sunset, the temperature changes rapidly, winds change, animals start making different sounds, and shadows start getting weird (look into “shadow bands” if you have a chance).

As soon as totality ends, and you start to see Baily’s Beads again, put your solar glasses back on as it will get very bright again very fast as the moon moves out of the way.

Q: What are the best options for viewing the eclipse safely and to greatest effect?

A: No matter where you are during the eclipse, make sure you have solar glasses. These glasses should be ISO-approved for solar viewing. Do not use glasses with scratches, holes, or other damage.

If you are unable to obtain solar glasses in time, you can safely view the eclipse using a home-made projection method , such as a pinhole camera or even projecting the image of the sun through a colander.

The best view of the eclipse will be from within the path of totality, but even if you are not within it, you should still go outside to experience the partial eclipse. Use the NASA Eclipse Explorer to find the start, maximum, and end times, and then find a nice spot outside — preferably with some shade — put on your glasses, and enjoy the show.

For a closer view of the sun, find a friend that has a telescope with the correct ISO-certified solar filter. This will let you see the photosphere (or chromosphere if it is an H-alpha scope) in a lot more detail. If you do not have access to a telescope, NASA plans to livestream a telescope view throughout the eclipse. [The livestream will be displayed publicly on a large screen in Building 55 at MIT, rain or shine.]

The only time you can look at or image the sun without a filter is during 100 percent totality. As soon as this period is done, glasses and filters must be put back on.

After the eclipse, keep your glasses and filters. You can use them to look at the sun on any day (it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that I could use the glasses at any time instead of lugging out a telescope). On a really clear day, you can sometimes see sunspots!

Q: How does eclipse photography work?

A: This year I plan to photograph the eclipse in two ways. The first is using a hydrogen-alpha telescope. This telescope filters out all light except for one wavelength that is given off by hydrogen. Because it blocks out most of the light from the sun’s surface, it allows you to see the turbulent upper atmosphere of the sun, including solar prominences that follow magnetic field lines.

Because this telescope does not allow for imaging during totality as too much light is blocked, I also plan to set up a regular camera with a wide-angle lens to capture the total eclipse with the surrounding environment as context. During the 2017 eclipse, I only captured close-ups of the sun using a regular solar filter and missed the opportunity to capture what was going on around me.

Will it work? That depends on if we get clear skies, and how many pictures of my 1.5-year-old need to be taken (as well as how much chasing needs to be done).

If you would like to take pictures of the eclipse, make sure you protect your camera sensor. The sun can easily damage lenses, sensors, and other components. Here are some examples of solar damaged cameras . The solution is simple, though. If using a camera phone, you can take pictures through an extra pair of solar glasses, or even tape them to the phone. For cameras with larger lenses, you can buy cardboard filters that slide over the front of your camera or even buy ISO-approved solar film and make your own.

Q: Any fun, unique, cool, or interesting science facts about this eclipse to share?

A: If you want to get even more involved with the eclipse, there are many citizen science projects that plan to collect as much data as possible throughout the eclipse.

NASA is planning to run several experiments during the eclipse , and researchers with MIT Haystack Observatory will also be using four different technologies to monitor changes in the upper atmosphere , both locally and across the continent.

If you are interested in learning more about the eclipse, here are two of my favorite videos, one on “ unexpected science from a 0.000001 megapixel home-made telescope ” and one on solar eclipse preparation .
