Overview
Each year, 2.78 million workers die from work-related accidents and diseases, and an additional 374 million workers are victims of non-fatal accidents. That equates to 7,500 worker fatalities every day as a result of unsafe and unhealthy working conditions. While Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) hazards are intrinsic to all workplaces, whether part of global supply chains or not, certain conditions increase OSH risks for workplaces that are connected to global supply chains. The COVID-19 pandemic and its related financial consequences are a reminder that a healthy workforce is good for business and essential to building resilient supply chains which can be linked to improved performance and profitability.
