2024 Workers' Memorial Day Events

Every April 28, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Cal/OSHA, and the Nation commemorate Workers' Memorial Day. It's a day and time to honor those who perished while working and acknowledge the profound impact of these losses on families, colleagues, and communities. California has a rich history of pioneering regulations that exceed federal mandates, and on this day, we underscore our unwavering dedication to ensuring workers are protected on-the-job and go home safely to their families.

On April 28 and 29, 2024, Cal/OSHA will host events in collaboration with its partners at Federal OSHA, the District Council of Iron Workers, the Hispanic Arborists Association, and Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park to commemorate fallen workers. We invite you to join us. Please refer to the schedule below to locate an event near your location.
