Workers’ Memorial Day 2020

Workers’ Memorial Day on April 28, 2020, is an annual international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.

At 11 a.m. (CT) Friday, April 26, 2020, the National Safety Council will host a virtual candlelight vigil on Facebook . All are welcome to join by offering comments of support, remembrance and love for those who tragically died while working.

The NSC also urges workers to take the Safe at Work Pledge to prioritize safety at work:

~ Look for hazards, promptly report them and take appropriate action to warn others

~ Be a good safety role model for my friends and family even when off the job
