🌍 World Day for Safety and Health at Work: EOON Care’s Commitment to Safer Workplaces in Nigeria and Beyond

📅 28th April

Each year on 28th April, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work shines a global spotlight on the importance of preventing occupational accidents and illnesses. This international observance, spearheaded by the International Labour Organization (ILO), encourages all organisations to build a strong culture of prevention that safeguards workers’ health, safety, and well-being.

🚨 Why This Matters in Nigeria

In Nigeria, workplace safety is a growing concern across multiple sectors — from healthcare to oil and gas, manufacturing to construction. Despite progress, thousands of workers still face preventable injuries, health risks, and unsafe environments each year due to limited enforcement of safety laws, lack of training, and poor awareness.

According to the Nigerian Institute of Safety Professionals (NISP), occupational accidents continue to cause significant harm to both individuals and the economy. Now more than ever, it’s crucial for businesses and organisations to prioritise employee protection through proactive measures.

🩺 EOON Care: Leading by Example in Healthcare Workplace Safety

At EOON Care, we understand that safety in the workplace is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. As a leading provider of elder care and wellness services, especially within healthcare settings, we are committed to protecting both our employees and the people we serve.

Here’s how EOON Care fosters a culture of safety:

✅ Regular Health Screenings – Early detection of illness to reduce risks
✅ Ergonomic Work Environments – Designed to reduce physical strain and injury
✅ Mental Health Support – Wellbeing initiatives to prevent burnout and psychological stress
✅ Ongoing Training – Empowering our staff with the knowledge to stay safe and support others
✅ PPE and Infection Control – Especially vital in healthcare, we uphold global best practices

💡 What Can Be Done to Improve Workplace Safety in Nigeria?

Creating safer work environments in Nigeria — and across the globe — requires collaborative action from all stakeholders. Here are key recommendations:

🔹 Stronger Policies & Enforcement: Government agencies must enhance safety laws and actively monitor compliance.
🔹 Workplace Training: Employers should run regular health and safety training for all staff.
🔹 Accessible Healthcare & Support: Staff should have access to mental health services, health insurance, and responsive care.
🔹 Multi-sector Collaboration: Partnerships between government, private organisations like EOON Care, and NGOs can create broader impact.
