April 28th is Workers Memorial Day in the United States and the National Day of Mourning in Canada. We also recognize April 28th as IUEC Safety Stand Down Day and remember the 383 IUEC members who have lost their lives on the job.
The IUEC joins together with our employers on April 28th to promote a safer and healthier workplace by holding safety meetings, tool box talks, and sending out safety messages.
Please take a moment to reflect on the 383 Brothers and Sisters we have lost on the job, who are recognized at our Member Memorial, and how we can improve our sense of awareness to daily hazards present in the workplace.
