Summary

[edit]
Description

Workers' Memorial Day, also known as International Workers' Memorial Day, International Commemoration Day (ICD) for Dead and Injured, or Day of Mourning, takes place annually around the world on April 28. It is an international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work. The day is an opportunity to highlight the preventable nature of most workplace incidents and ill health and to promote campaigns in the fight for improvements in workplace safety. The slogan for the day is ‘Remember the dead – Fight for the living’.

In 2001 the United Nations recognised the day and added it to their series of events, giving it the title World Day for Safety and Health at Work. The theme for 2016 was “Workplace Stress: a collective challenge”, which recognised that psychosocial risks such as increased competition, higher expectations on performance and longer working hours are contributing to the workplace becoming an ever more stressful environment.

Archives New Zealand holds many records from both government organisations and union authorities that promote workplace safety. A large number of these are posters, such as this bold New Zealand Railways work. It is undated, but the typographic style suggests it is from pre-1940.
