The main goal of the day is to highlight safety measures and ensure that people are aware of them and follow them in order to avoid workplace accidents.
This day commemorates the establishment of the National Safety Council.
National Safety Council is a non-profit, self-financing body.
It was established on March 4, 1966.
This year's theme is “Our Aim - Zero Harm”.
National Safety Week is also observed in India every year from the 4th to the 10th of March.
