JOHSPA Commemorates World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026

JOHSPA successfully commemorated World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026 through a series of meaningful activities designed to raise awareness, foster engagement, and promote dialogue on this year's theme, "Ensuring a Healthy Psychosocial Work Environment."

The week of observance commenced with a worship service at the Portmore Missionary Church on April 26, bringing members and stakeholders together in reflection and fellowship as the Association officially launched its activities.

To broaden public awareness, JOHSPA participated in a radio interview on Nationwide 90 FM, highlighting the importance of occupational safety and health and discussing the significance of creating healthy psychosocial work environments across Jamaican workplaces.

As part of its public awareness efforts, JOHSPA also published a special supplement in The Gleaner, featuring insightful articles from members, a message from the President, and goodwill messages from organizations across Jamaica. The publication showcased the collective commitment of professionals and organizations dedicated to advancing occupational safety and health.

Member engagement remained a key focus through a reflection initiative that invited members to share what World Day for Safety and Health at Work—and the 2026 theme, "Ensuring a Healthy Psychosocial Work Environment"—meant to them. The initiative encouraged thoughtful discussion while providing members with an opportunity to share their perspectives and experiences.

JOHSPA also proudly contributed to the national observance by moderating the Bellevue Hospital panel discussion, facilitating meaningful conversations on psychosocial health in the workplace and reinforcing the Association's leadership in promoting occupational safety and health.

Collectively, these initiatives reaffirmed JOHSPA's commitment to advocating for healthier, safer, and more resilient workplaces throughout Jamaica.
