Workers Memorial Day - Honoring our injured and fallen workers osha.gov-workers-memorial


Did You Know?

Each year we recognize Workers Memorial Day on April 28 to honor thousands of workers who lost their lives due to workplace injuries, illnesses, and diseases. This year OSHA will host events throughout the week leading up to the observance, including training sessions, a memorial ceremony, and a candlelight vigil, and panel discussion, to remember fallen workers and support the families they left behind. These events highlight the importance of strengthening workplace safety so that every worker can return home safely at the end of the day.

We invite you to join us and register today for the Stand up for Safety and Health Virtual Training Monday, April 20, Tuesday, April 21, and Wednesday, April 22, and our Workers Memorial Ceremonies as we remember and recognize our fallen and injured workers.

¿Sabías?

Cada año, el 28 de abril, conmemoramos el Día de Conmemoración de los Trabajadores para honrar a los miles de trabajadores que perdieron la vida a causa de lesiones, enfermedades y dolencias relacionadas con el trabajo. Este año, OSHA organizará eventos durante la semana previa a la conmemoración, incluidas sesiones de capacitación, una ceremonia conmemorativa, una vigilia con velas y una mesa redonda, para recordar a los trabajadores caídos y apoyar a las familias que dejaron atrás. Estos eventos destacan la importancia de fortalecer la seguridad en el lugar de trabajo para que cada trabajador pueda regresar a casa sano y salvo al finalizar la jornada.

Le invitamos a unirse a nosotros e inscribirse hoy en la capacitación virtual “Stand Up for Safety and Health”, que se llevará a cabo el lunes 20 de abril, martes 21 de abril y miércoles 22 de abril, así como en nuestras ceremonias del Día de Conmemoración de los Trabajadores, mientras recordamos y reconocemos a nuestros trabajadores caídos y lesionados.
