WORKERS MEMORIAL DAY 2021

 




Each year on April 28th, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) recognizes Workers Memorial Day in honor of those who lost their lives in the workplace. 


2021’s celebration marks the 50th year of OSHA and their mission has not changed since 1971. OSHA has fought since its existence to provide workers with safety and ultimately, a voice.


With the COVID-19 pandemic, OSHA worked tirelessly to assure all workers had a voice in how they would feel safe in their work environment and that employers took all the steps towards ensuring workers safety. 


This year, OSHA plans to celebrate and celebrate all workers who have put their lives on the line during the COVID-19 pandemic. OSHA will hold events around the country; starting on Sunday, April 25th, and running through Saturday, May 1st.


Please join us and OSHA in remembering those who have lost their lives in the workplace and those who put their lives on the line every day in these unprecedented times.


Visit OSHA’s website for more information about Workers Memorial Day 2021 and the events that will take place.
