Poster from April 28, 2012 of the mutual company Fraternidad-Muprespa
COMMEMORATION OF APRIL 28
Since 1996, unions worldwide have been commemorating the victims of work accidents and occupational diseases on April 28 of each year.
Starting in 1999, and at the proposal of the National Commission for Safety and Health at Work, by Order of March 30, 1999, the Ministry of Employment and Social Security of our country established, as Safety and Health at Work Day, April 28 of each year.
Since 2003 the ILO, a tripartite International Organization, accepted the initiative of the trade union organizations and turned it into an annual day worldwide, promoted to draw attention to accidents and diseases caused by work, for their reduction and elimination in the world.
Around this date, hundreds of national and international organizations make statements, promote various types of events, propose and develop activities that lead to the reflection of all citizens, institutions and organizations most related to the problem.
Information and the maximum extension of the commemoration must play a crucial role in all activities, since the priority intention is to reach the maximum number of people and institutions, to encourage concern and action regarding this problem and to promote measures that lead to its solution. The choice of slogans has the purpose of synthesizing the objective into a message that allows maximum communicative effectiveness in the desired result.

Taking advantage of the start of the next edition of the campaign Healthy workplaces 2012-2013 of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work and as members of the National Network for Safety and Health at Work, we have adopted its motto, 'Working together for risk prevention', for the design of this year's poster.
'Working together for risk prevention' focuses on the idea of leadership in the management of prevention and the participation of workers in safety and health at work.
Leadership and participation are symbolized in our poster by the team made up of businessmen, managers, workers and prevention delegates, by the different chess figures, who fight together to win the game against the risks at work symbolized by the danger signs, which is the adversary. Teamwork is always more effective, so they win the game that is already advanced, eliminating the risks that have left the board.
