What are you doing for International Workers Memorial Day? # IWMD25
- Hold a one minute silence at 12.00 to remember all those who have died because of work.
- Are you organising an online event or a socially distanced event at your workplace? - have you arranged for a speaker from FACK Families Against Corporate Killers (https://www.facebook.com/groups/16054748370) or the Hazards Campaign? If you need one please contact me and we can try to arrange it.
- Although IWMD - International Workers Memorial Day is on April 28th there are events taking place across the week, and put your event on the map - 28April.org
- Are you going to read out the names of people from your sector, industry or region, who have died this year because of work? - see HSE fatalities RIDDOR reported list https://www.hse.gov.uk/foi/fatalities/2024-25.htm
- Use the Hazards Campaign ‘Whole Story’ numbers to talk about the true number of people who have died over the last 12 months because of work - http://www.hazardscampaign.org.uk/thewholestory
- If you know of anyone who has been killed because of work put their name on the Workers Memorial Wall https://www.tuc.org.uk/workers-memorial-wall
- If you know of a place that is can be lit up purple for the day for example Blackpool Tower, Town Halls etc, then ask the appropriate authorities.
- Ask for the town hall flag to be flown at half-mast in remembrance of those workers killed because of their work
