Workers Memorial Day: Honoring Workers Killed or Injured on the Job AFL-CIO
Workers Memorial Day Around the World
Since 1996, workers around the world have joined in celebrating April 28 as International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers. Unions of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions plan a range of actions in 90 nations to promote “Safe and Healthy Work for All” and emphasize employer responsibility for safe workplaces.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates workplace accidents kill more people each year than wars. According to a new ILO report set for release April 28, 6,000 workers a day or more than 2 million a year die from work-related causes.

The date was chosen to coincide with passage of the country's first comprehensive Workers' Compensation Act (Ontario 1914).------------------------------------------- posted 6:48 AM :: reference link ::
