Every day, 340 people die because of hazardous working conditions. When employers don’t keep our workplaces safe, it’s workers and our families who pay the price.
On Workers Memorial Day, we remember and mourn those we’ve lost.
And we recommit to our fight for a safe workplace for every worker. Because we know that workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths are preventable.
More than 50 years ago, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed, promising workers the right to a safe job.
