Find out more about International Workers' Memorial Day, and what you can do to take part or remember the lives of those lost to work.
Every year on the 28 April, the trade union movement unites to mark International Workers’ Memorial Day (IWMD).
Almost two million people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases each year. Most don't die of mystery ailments or in tragic accidents. They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn't that important a priority.
International Workers’ Memorial Day enables us to both commemorate these lost workers and renew our efforts to organise collectively to prevent further deaths, injuries and disease.
There are lots of ways you can get involved in International Workers' Memorial Day:

Men are less likely to talk about their mental health and are more reluctant to see their GP. In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity they will explore the reasons why, and the key issues affecting men’s health. This is a free webinar and open to everyone.
