The Irish Congress of Trade Unions,along with the Government, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA), Ibec, and the CIF will collectively mark Workers’ Memorial Day Ireland on April 29th at the national and annual commemorative event to remember people who died, were injured, made ill and bereaved through work-related accidents. In Ireland in the ten-year period between 2014 and 2023, 459 people died in work-related incidents and many thousands more were severely injured or made ill. In 2023 alone, 43 people died in work-related incidents.
These are unacceptable figures which can be reduced through a combined and intensified effort
by all concerned. By working together and promoting the practice of safety and health in workplaces throughout Ireland we will achieve a significant drop in these dreadful numbers. We all have a responsibility to make sure that happens.
Together, we are inviting you to join us at 09.30am on Monday 29th April to support this national day of commemoration.
Date: Monday 29th April 2024
Venue: Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin 1
Time: Gather from 9.20am, event starts at 9.30am-10.30am
