Every year on April 28 we pay our respects to, and remember, the thousands of workers who have been killed, injured or suffered illness as a result of work-related incidents.
We also honour the many families and friends who have been deeply affected by these tragedies. We especially remember Tara today and her family. Next week, yellow flowers will be placed in the reception area in memory of a past colleague, who was tragically taken from us during working hours, Tara Veri. Tara was a dedicated family service worker at the Society who passed away four years ago…….. due to a traffic fatality.
Every worker has the right to return home safe and sound at the end of each work day.
By working together – with employers, workers and our health and safety partners – we can prevent worker injuries and deaths before they occur.
In Solidarity
