ATLANTA – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration will recognize Workers’ Memorial Day on April 28 at 10 a.m. EDT by participating in an observance at the Old State Capitol building in Raleigh, North Carolina.
American workers are the backbone of our nation’s prosperity and a focal point of President Trump’s “America First” agenda. With the recent increased growth in manufacturing, mining and construction industries, OSHA renews its commitment to making safety a priority through education, training and collaboration with American workers, businesses and state partners.
During the event, OSHA will partner with the North Carolina State AFL-CIO, the North Carolina Justice Center, the North Carolina Council of Churches, Student Action with Farmworkers, the North Carolina A. Phillip Randolph Institute and the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans to participate in the memorial service to remember the workers who died as a result of workplace injuries. During the ceremony, names will be read to coincide with a ringing of a bell in honor of each worker.
