Workers' Memorial Day, also known as International Workers' Memorial Day or International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured, takes place annually around the world on April 28th, an International Day of Remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured, or made unwell by their work.
In 1989, the AFL-CIO declared April 28th Workers' Memorial Day to honor the hundreds of thousands of working people killed and injured on the job every year. April 28th is the anniversary of the date the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 went into effect, and when the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was formed (April 28, 1971).

"Today we remember and honor our brothers and sisters who were injured or lost their lives, in their memory we stand together, unified to keep each other safe."
