LOS ANGELES – Gathering at a virtual National Speak Out to observe Workers’ Memorial Week, safety activists said today that a new COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) will save lives and must be “rapidly approved and rigorously enforced.”
National COSH also released today a new report, “Deadly Risks, Costly Failures.” Key findings include:
“Deadly Risks, Costly Failures” report.

Семинар по безопасности и охране труда
В этом году Международная организация труда объявила тему Всемирного дня охраны труда – «Предвидеть кризис и быть готовым к нему – ИНВЕСТИРОВАТЬ СЕЙЧАС В АДЕКВАТНЫЕ СИСТЕМЫ ОХРАНЫ ТРУДА».
«Необходимо создавать благоприятные условия труда в процессе трудовой деятельности для реализации прав работников на достойный труд» — беря данное правило за основу, 27 апреля филиалом ОО «Отраслевой профессиональный союз работников сельского хозяйства» по Костанайской области был проведен семинар «Безопасность и охрана труда» для профсоюзного актива, руководителей предприятий и организаций, ответственных лиц за безопасность и охрану труда.
В приветственном слове Ирина Аронова, председатель Профсоюзного центра Костанайской области, отметила приоритетность безопасности и охраны труда в деятельности профсоюза. В рамках Областного соглашения между акиматом Костанайской области, территориальным объединением профсоюзов «Профсоюзный Центр Костанайской области» и Ассоциацией содействия предпринимательской деятельности в Костанайской области на 2021 – 2023 годы, обеспечение приоритета сохранения жизни и здоровья работников является одним из важных пунктов документа. Сравнивая цифры по травматизму прошедшего периода в прошлом году, в Костанайской области за прошедшие три месяца можно отметить снижение, тем не менее 21 человек получили производственные травмы.
Зауре Жумабекова, председатель филиала профсоюза работников сельского хозяйства, говоря об органах государственного контроля, общественных объединениях работников, подчеркнула важность профилактической работы по предупреждению производственного травматизма и поиска новых форм и методов работы с организациями, в первую очередь с теми, у которых имеют место повторные несчастные случаи с тяжёлым и смертельным исходом.
О состоянии производственного травматизма в Костанайской области в сфере сельского хозяйства, процедурах по расследованию и учету несчастных случаев, связанных с трудовой деятельностью, подробно рассказала Гуля Каратаева, руководитель отдела контроля трудовых отношений Управления по инспекции труда.
Продолжая работу в формате диалога и вопросов-ответов выступили председатели профкомов ТОО «КазНИИМЭСХ» — Владимир Ткаченко, ТОО СХОС «Заречное» — Ольга Галайко, КГП «ВЕТЕРИНАРНАЯ станция» Костанайского района – Нурболат Какимбеков.
Далее интерактивная часть семинара прошла динамично — работая в формате «Деловой игры», участники показали свои знания в области безопасности и охраны труда, предложили свои механизмы и правила по профилактике травматизма.
Приятным завершением работы семинара стало вручение почетных грамот и благодарственных писем от ТОП «Профсоюзный центр Костанайской области и филиала ОО «Отраслевой профессиональный союз работников сельского хозяйства» по Костанайской области.
Мероприятия в рамках Всемирного дня охраны труда продолжаются во всех отраслевых и локальных профсоюзах Костанайской области.

International Workers’ Memorial Day: 28.04.21
Posted by James Raynes · April 27, 2021 10:03 AM
Every year, Victorian Trades Hall Council hosts a memorial service to remember those Victorians who lost their lives at work. On Wednesday April 28, International Workers’ Memorial Day will be held in person at Trades Hall (subject to COVID-19 conditions). The ceremony will include speeches from Tim Pallas, Treasurer and Minister for Industrial Relations; Ingrid Stitt, Minister for Workplace Safety and Minister for Early Childhood; Colin Radford, WorkSafe CEO; Madeleine Harradence, ANMF Assistant Secretary; and Luke Hilakari, Secretary of Victorian Trades Hall Council.
Since this day last year, there have been Victorian workplace deaths. For the first time, WorkSafe is now counting in that tally those killed on the road while working, suicides attributable to a workplace health and safety failure, deaths from industrial diseases such as silicosis, and workplace deaths resulting from a criminal act.
This International Workers’ Memorial Day will remember workers who have lost their lives, and will also provide an opportunity to reflect deeply on the importance of Victoria’s swift, proactive response to COVID-19 – a response that played a critical role in preventing countless more deaths, such as on the scale experienced in many other parts of the world.
Quotes attributable to Victorian Trades Hall Council Secretary Luke Hilakari
“On International Workers’ Memorial Day this year, we respect, remember and pay our respects to the 48 Victorian workers who tragically lost their lives since we marked this day 12 months ago.
“Since July 2020, WorkSafe has chosen to include, in their tally, fatalities of workers from occupational illness, road incidents and suicide attributable to workplace OHS failure. We strongly support this change; recognising these fatalities as work-related is critical to preventing further deaths. In particular, 2020 has shown why it is vital to include occupational illnesses in this tally. Internationally, over 17,000 healthcare workers died in 2020 as a result of providing medical care to patients with COVID-19. This pandemic has been a stark reminder of the importance of our state’s collective solidarity in following health experts’ advice, and of having empowered unionists and Health and Safety Reps committed to ensuring their workplaces are safe.
“We call on the Federal Government to swiftly make vaccinations available to the whole community and to provide the best possible protections to prevent the spread of COVID-19, particularly to those working on the frontline of this pandemic.”
Event details
The event will be live streamed through the Victorian Trades Hall Council Facebook page or members of the press are welcome to attend VTHC in person, at Memorial Rock, corner Lygon and Victoria Street, Carlton.
10:30am: Event begins
11am: One minute’s silence, laying of wreaths

On the National Day of Mourning, PSAC joins Canada’s unions in recognizing the devastating human cost of COVID-19.
One year later, the pandemic has exposed many of the gaps inPSAC protections for workers across Canada. Workers and unions have had to fight for access to personal protective equipment, safe social distancing measures at work, paid sick leave and respect for basic health and safety rights.
Many of these health and safety issues are not new, but they’ve been exacerbated by the pandemic, and they disproportionately impact workers from marginalized communities because many work precarious jobs without access to sick leave.
Throughout the pandemic, PSAC has been working to secure safe and healthy working conditions for our members, wherever work is taking place. PSAC members have been exposed to COVID-19 at meat-packing plants, border crossings, federal penitentiaries, in hospitals, on military bases and at the office. We continue to fight for access to free personal protective equipment, proper training and paid sick days so that workers can stay home when they’re sick without the risk of exposing their co-workers, families and communities to COVID-19.
An estimated 58 per cent of Canadian workers don’t have access to paid sick leave through their employers, according to a report by the Decent Work and Health Network. That number rises to 70 per cent among people making less than $25,000 a year.
In the months ahead, our health and safety committees will continue to monitor workplaces, making sure employers respect your health and safety rights, including the right to refuse unsafe work, and ensure that all workplaces are safe before reopening.
PSAC will also continue to pressure provincial and territorial governments to provide universal, permanent and adequate paid sick leave so that nobody has to choose between going to work sick and getting paid.
Take action
To add your voice to the call for paid sick leave for all, join the Canadian Labour Congress’s phone banking session on April 28 (English only) to call on decision-makers to take action on paid sick leave.

TORONTO– As Unifor prepares to mark the National Day of Mourning on April 28, the union is calling for immediate government action to provide pandemic protection for workers.
“The pandemic has starkly revealed inequities in our workplaces, with many workers continuing to offer essential services, despite the risks to their health and to that of their families,” said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. “No one should have to die to make a living, but provincial governments continue to reject pandemic measures needed to protect workers.”
Sadly, 19 Unifor members lost their lives since the last Day of Mourning, either on the job or to COVID-19. The seven Unifor members who died from COVID-19 worked in a variety of sectors, including long-term care, warehouse and manufacturing. In their memory, Unifor is continuing to advocate for priority vaccine access for all workers who must leave the house, permanent paid sick days, paid vaccination time and increased rapid testing.
April 28 marks the National Day of Mourning, to pay tribute to workers who died due to workplace injury and occupational disease and recommit to improve health and safety in the workplace. This year’s even takes on special significance during the heightened safety concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector and represents 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
Last year, 150 Alberta workers lost their lives on the job.
Families and co-workers were devastated. There was an empty spot at many tables, conversations will be missed forever, there are deep regrets because there was no chance to say I love you one more time.
Then came COVID-19. When we first heard of the new disease overseas, most of us assumed it would never land it Canada. We thought Western medicine would save us.
We were wrong. When the carnage arrived, borders were closed, civil restrictions put in place, visitors restricted in health care settings, continuous masking was required, a Joint Statement negotiated, single-site orders, AFD payments, isolation measures, mental health concerns, N95 respirators locked up, overtime, burnout, short staffing, and the list goes on.
All you need to do is look around at your workplace to see the stress on your co-workers’ faces.
Conversations are different. Who’s talking about a winter vacation or summer holidays now? Who’s thinking about an upcoming wedding invitation? Instead we have restrictions on attending a funeral to say goodbye. Who thought we’d ever need an invitation to attend a funeral for a dear friend or family member?
COVID units are over capacity, nurses must hold up iPads so family members can say goodbye. Imagine the mental toll that takes on those nurses? Resilience is a word employers rely on and workers have come to hate.
Despite all this, the Alberta Government has launched attacks on the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It is reviewing the OHS Code and considering language that would gut Joint Workplace Health and Safety Committees, eviscerate the applicable rate of pay UNA won at arbitration, and change the rules to make it harder to refuse unsafe work.
Eliminating work refusals that save lives and protect workers’ health and safety are justified in the name of “job creators” who forget that people who work and spend their wages are the economic drivers of the economy. Labour for this government has become a dirty word.
2020, a year many would like to forget, but mustn’t!
As bad a year as 2020 has been, there are positive outcomes that will take us into the future.
Employers can no longer tell workers and their unions that policies can’t be changed quickly. We have seen OHS policy changed in a week, not three years.
Meetings are now held virtually. Zoom and Skype are normal. Business gets done but the value of sitting across the table and looking someone in the eye seems to have been lost. A handshake on a deal is gone for the moment. But we will get back.
Supply chain lines for PPE are now secured. PPE is now manufactured in Canada and Alberta, including quality face shields, medical masks, and N95 respirators. No manager should hesitate to supply any PPE, no worker should hesitate to ask. This includes N95 respirators, when they are needed to perform work safely.
Health care workers are now supposedly eligible to receive vaccinations. But some workers caring for COVID patients had to meet additional criteria to be vaccinated. What’s wrong with this picture?
We must never forget that governments come and go, even in Alberta. We, the workers of Alberta, will still be here to challenge inadequate legislation.
At the time of writing, six health care workers have died and more than 8,000 have tested positive for COVID-19.
We must remember that not all health care workers who become infected with COVID recover. Some become “long-haulers,” and that will be their life’s journey. They are the walking wounded. We don’t know what medical attention they will require or what their life needs will be.
This article is not just about COVID-19. Countless other injuries occurred that caused the deaths of those 150 workers in 2020. They went to work and ended up not going home. They likely went to the hospitals where you work, where you tried to give them another shot at life.
April 28 is the day we remember that we, working people, built this country. Working people have earned the right to safe workplaces, and unions to keep them safe. All working people deserve a safe workplace
Stay Healthy! Work Safe!
This year, I want to talk to you, not about you!
Dewey Funk, Occupational Health & safety Advisor, United Nurses of Alberta
