Workers' Memorial Day is observed on April 28 each year to honor and remember workers who have lost their lives or suffered injuries on the job. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of workplace safety and the need for regulations that protect workers' rights. It is recognized in many countries around the world, often marked by ceremonies, vigils, and educational events. The day was first established in 1989 by the Canadian Labour Congress and has since gained international recognition. It aims to raise awareness about the risks associated with various occupations and to advocate for safer working conditions. Many organizations, including unions and safety advocates, participate in events to promote the message of workplace safety.
