Workers Memorial Day is an annual event that honors workers who have been killed or injured on the job. It is held on April 28th, which is also the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
This day is a time to remember those who have lost their lives while working, and to renew our commitment to protecting workers. Every job has its own risks, but there are some basic safety measures that can help prevent injuries and fatalities.
By working together to improve job safety, we can make a difference in the lives of workers and their families. This Workers Memorial Day, let’s remember those who have been lost, and resolve to do what we can to keep workers safe.
Here are some tips for following OSHA standards on work sites:
- Wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times. This includes items like hard hats, safety glasses, and earplugs or other hearing protection.
- Be aware of your surroundings and know what potential hazards are present.
- Report any unsafe conditions to your supervisor immediately.
- Follow all posted safety rules and regulations.
- Never take shortcuts that could jeopardize your safety or the safety of others.
