Shoosmiths support for Workers' Memorial Day
20 April 2009
"Remember the dead and fight for the living" is the message behind Workers' Memorial Day, which has been held every year since 1989.
335,000 workers die every year worldwide as a result of accidents at work, including asbestos-related diseases.
Workers’ Memorial Day – on 28 April – aims to remember those who have died due to poor health and safety in their workplace, and to continue campaigning for better workplace conditions, thus preventing future deaths, injuries and diseases.
Workers’ Memorial Day will be supported by health and safety campaigners all over the world, and by families who have lost loved ones.
Sara Hunt, associate solicitor and personal injury specialist, said: “I find it staggering that so many people worldwide are still losing their lives as a result of workplace accidents.
“It is important that days like this continue to be held to ensure the importance of complying with health and safety regulations continues to be impressed upon employers.”
