The “Macedonian Occupational Safety and Health Association” traditionally marked April 28, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The theme of this year’s campaign is aimed at young people.
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work (SafeDay) and the World Day Against Child Labour (WDACL) are coming together in a joint campaign to improve the safety and health of young workers and end child labour.
In order to stimulate preventive culture, in the past period MOSHA realized more info meetings, visits to companies that implement good practice for safety and health at work.
All of this was documented with a video and published at a public debate in Library “Brakja Miladinovci”.
The main speakers were students of secondary schools , representatives from student organizations. The following topics were addressed:
– How often young people are familiar with occupational health and safety?
– How often do they meet with OSH in the educational process?

The general conclusion was that education is needed from the earliest age, greater representation in the educational process, more such discussions should be organized in order to talk about the importance of this field.
At the end of the event, all the participants were given gratitude for their proactive approach, and the students who participated in the media contest at the World Congress on Safety and Health at Work in Singapore, diplomas.
