World Steel Association (worldsteel) announced its plans to launch a
Steel Safety Day to coincide with International Labor Organization's World Safety Day on April 28. According to worldsteel, the safety day represents its commitment to the safety and health of those who work in the steel industry.
The event is intended to reinforce awareness of the five most common causes of safety incidents and to create a safer working environment globally throughout the industry.
"Worldsteel is requesting all its members as well as all related organizations within the steel industry to carry out a special audit on the five main causes of safety incidents in all plants around the world," says Worldsteel's Edwin Basson. "This should engage both employees and service providers involving as many as four million people in total."
