This , we celebrate the strength, resilience, and dedication of workers everywhere.

✅Every profession matters. Every contribution counts. From hospitals to classrooms, offices to construction sites, workers are the backbone of our communities and our nation.

As we mark this day, let us continue to promote decent work, protect workers’ rights, and uphold the dignity of labour for all.

Happy International Workers’ Day from all of us at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC)!.

A safe workplace isn’t just injury free it’s also stress-aware, supportive, and mentally healthy.

This April 28, on World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we’re highlighting the importance of psychosocial safety because mental well-being matters as much as physical protection.

What does a healthy psychosocial work environment look like?
✅Manageable workloads and clear roles
✅Support from leadership and colleagues
✅Respect, fairness, and open communication
✅The ability to speak up without fear

When these are missing, stress, fatigue, and poor communication can lead to errors, lower productivity, and lasting harm to our health.

Let’s look out for one another, raise concerns openly, and build a safer, healthier, more resilient workplace together.
