International Workers' Memorial Day
International Workers' Memorial Day takes place annually around the world on 28 April - an international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.
It marks the day when workers all over the world stop for a minute to mourn for those who have died as a result of work, but also to give notice that we are not going to give up the fight.
In a world where, on occasion, death, injury and illness at work are hidden away and taken for granted, International Workers' Memorial Day is an opportunity to highlight the preventable nature of most workplace accidents and ill health and to promote campaigns and union organisation in the fight for improvements in workplace safety.
The slogan for the day is Remember the dead - Fight for the living.
The Board and Management of IFAP encourage all workers to participate in this important global event.
