National Workplace Day of Remembrance
This is an annual event observed on the 12th December. It’s a time to remember everyone who lost their lives at work, whatever their job, whatever their level, whatever their industry or politics.
It is dedicated to honouring and remembering those who have lost their lives or suffered injuries and illnesses in the workplace. It is a reminder of the importance of health and safety at work to protect all workers well-being.
We remember such disasters as The Oaks Colliery disaster in 1866. This was a colliery in Barnsley in South Yorkshire. It was described as the worst mining disaster in history.
To get involved you can support any memorial services in your area. Support workplace safety, remember loved ones who have died or suffer from injuries. Educate fellow colleagues about occupational health.
