Workers' memorial day

pdf version (what's that?)

Workers' Memorial Day falls each year on 28 April. It is an annual event at which we remember the dead and fight for the living - an event during which we remember all those killed and injured at work and pledge our determination to fight for higher safety standards.

This year, the main event in London will be a march through central London preceded by a horse-drawn hearse. The event is being organised by the Construction Safety Campaign and further details can be found from the CSC secretary, Tony O'Brien, 07747 795954, construction.safetycampaign@talk21.com.

There will be many other local events around London and elsewhere in the country. Further information can be found on the TUC's weekly safety bulletin Risks on alerts@tuc.org.uk. If you are organising an event, send the details to Hilda Palmer at the Greater Manchester Hazards Centre. 0161 953 4037, gmhazards@hotmail.com, and it will then be advertised in Risks. You can also order WMD posters and ribbons from the Greater Manchester Hazards Centre.
