Today is Workers' Memorial Day, established to honor the memory of those workers who have died on the job and those who have become ill due to their work. The events taking place today in the U.S. and around the world will also acknowledge the terrible impact those deaths have on the families of the fallen and the communities in which they lived.
And, according to OSHA, the day is an opportunity “to recommit ourselves to the fight for safe and healthful workplaces for all workers.”
