Did You Know?

As we mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, OSHA remembers those who lost their lives, whose lives were forever changed, and the many people who answered the call to help in the days, weeks and months that followed.

We honor the thousands of emergency responders, workers and volunteers who served during the response and recovery efforts. We also recognize the federal OSHA and State Plan programs, who worked at the World Trade Center recovery site, helping protect the workers carrying out this difficult and important work.

Their service reflected an extraordinary spirit of courage, compassion and collaboration during one of our nation’s most difficult moments. Two and a half decades later, we honor their service and those we lost. We will never forget.

¿Sabías?

Al conmemorar el 25.º aniversario de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York, Virginia y Pensilvania, OSHA recuerda a quienes perdieron la vida, a quienes vieron sus vidas transformadas para siempre y a las numerosas personas que respondieron al llamado de ayudar durante los días, semanas y meses posteriores.

Rendimos homenaje a los miles de miembros de los equipos de respuesta a emergencias, trabajadores y voluntarios que prestaron servicio durante las labores de respuesta y recuperación. Asimismo, reconocemos la labor de OSHA federal y de los programas estatales de seguridad y salud ocupacional, que trabajaron en el sitio de recuperación del World Trade Center, contribuyendo a proteger a los trabajadores que llevaban a cabo esta difícil e importante labor.

Su servicio reflejó un extraordinario espíritu de valentía, compasión y colaboración durante uno de los momentos más difíciles de nuestra nación. Veinticinco años después, honramos su servicio y la memoria de quienes perdimos. Nunca olvidaremos.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11, we remember all those we lost, including many in the aftermath of that day, and honor the lives forever changed
