Everyone deserves a safe workplace
Every
April, we join millions around the world on Workers Memorial Day in remembering
workers who were killed on the job last year. These individuals were your
neighbors, friends, family members and co-workers — ordinary people who
deserved to return home after a hard day's work, but who died because not
enough was done to protect them on the job.
The cause
of this widespread problem is many-fold. Too many employers cut corners on
safety to maximize their bottom lines. Employees are sometimes forced to return
to work when they are sick or hurt, making them vulnerable to further injury.
Working
together, we can end the loss of life and limb, and make the commonwealth a
safe, healthy and fair place for all to live and make a living.
This April
28, join the crusade to achieve safe and healthy jobs.
