Worker Memorial Day

In case you forgot .... Today we celebrate Worker Memorial Day, "a day to pay tribute to those who have perished on the job and a day for safety and health stakeholders to recommit themselves to the mission of preventing all workplace fatalities in the future." Worker Memorial Day Honors Those Who Have Died on the Job (Occupational Hazards.com)

"On this Worker Memorial Day we remember and pay tribute to those who have died in pursuit of their livelihoods. We honor their memories and rededicate ourselves to our purpose: to foster safer and more healthful workplaces for all workers in America

Today, we remember those workers who have passed; but, we also renew our commitment to work hard every day to prevent workplace loss of life. We remain steadfast in our mission to bring every worker home safe and healthy every day — our nation's workers and their families deserve no less."
