World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026: new resources available

Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026: new resources available

World Day for Safety and Health at Work is observed every April 28. To mark the occasion, EUROGIP is highlighting three key resources related to the theme of the 2026 edition: “Ensuring a healthy psychosocial working environment”.


In France

EUROGIP has published “Prevention of Psychosocial Risks at Work,” (French only for now) a comprehensive report that provides an overview of legislation, tools, and prevention measures in 12 countries around the world, including France.

Recommended reading for prevention specialists, insurers, and decision-makers, this report helps readers better understand the various psychosocial risk factors (PSR), grasp the applicable legislation, and discover practices implemented in other countries around the world. Key issues addressed: employer obligations, the inclusion of psychosocial risks in risk assessments, the right to disconnect, and the management of violence and harassment in the workplace.


In Europe

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has launched its website dedicated to the 2026–2028 edition of the “Healthy Workplaces” campaign, titled “Together for Mental Health at Work”.

This website offers a first glimpse into the priorities of the upcoming campaign, namely the management and prevention of psychosocial risks and their impact on workers and organizations. Key materials are available for viewing, including the guide for the campaign, the brochure, and the poster. Additional content will be available in all official EU languages following the campaign’s launch in October 2026.


Around the World

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has published a report titled “The Psychosocial Workplace: Global Trends and Policy Implications” in which it explores how the psychosocial work environment is shaped by identified factors and workplace interactions.

Work-related psychosocial risks pose a major and growing threat to workers’ safety and health, organizational productivity, and, more broadly, global economic performance. Job demands, role clarity, workload, autonomy, work-time arrangements… this report highlights these factors and their impacts on workers’ mental health.
