The International Labour Organization has declared 28th April the World Day for Safety and Health at Work. This day is also recognized as Injured or Memorial Workers Day by Trade Unions worldwide. On this day, in particular, we think of those in Bermuda who have suffered workplace accidents and illness, along with more than 100 countries worldwide.
While major accidents or fatalities at work are rare in Bermuda, even minor injuries can have life-altering effects for workers and their families.
