Canada: Rassemblement le 28 avril pour le Jour commémoratif des personnes décédées ou blessées au travail – Quebec
Parce que, chaque année, plus de 200 personnes meurent au travail ou à la suite d’un accident de travail, la FTQ invite ses syndicats affiliés à venir exprimer leur solidarité envers les familles des victimes en soulignant le Jour commémoratif des personnes décédées ou blessées au travail le 28 avril prochain.
Le 28 avril, vous êtes tous invités à venir nous rejoindre en face de l’Assemblée nationale à Québec à partir de 15 h afin de rappeler aux parlementaires leurs responsabilités par rapport à tous ces drames.
Parce que chaque vie compte et qu’un mort, c’est un mort de trop et qu’un accident de travail, c’est un accident de trop, Québec doit mieux protéger ses travailleurs et travailleuses.
Rappelons que la FTQ réclame depuis trop longtemps déjà que la Loi sur la santé et la sécurité du travail s’applique à tous les travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec. Encore aujourd’hui, plus de 80% des travailleuses et travailleurs sont exclus de l’application d’une grande partie de la loi et sont par le fait même victimes de discrimination, en raison du secteur économique et de leur métier.

Macedonia: Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (CCM)
Become part of the union and do it significant change. Join CELEBRATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
The Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (CCM) as a representative trade union and social partner in the country is an active factor in the creation of policies for economic and social development, which is part of the OSH area.
Marking the World Health and Safety Day – April 28, we emphasize that providing healthy and safe working conditions for workers is a priority in the engagement of SSM.
The safe conditions in the companies are the basic assumption for the smooth performance of the work tasks of the workers, because they are a guarantee for the preservation of the life and health of the workers, improvement of the work and increasing the productivity of the labor in the companies.
Healthy and safe working conditions are a joint activity and tripartite unity of all social partners in the state, which by means of mutually coordinated action should contribute to the improvement of the overall system for ensuring safe and secure working conditions.
Through the social dialogue, with the active participation of SSM, the National OSH Strategy 2016-2020 was adopted, as well as the Action Plan, and in the country there is a National Board for OSH as a tripartite expert and advisory body for the OSH.
It is the primary responsibility of employers to ensure healthy and safe working conditions for workers in working environments, but workers are also responsible. This means that employers are obliged to invest in secure technologies, in promoting workplace conditions and in preventing occupational diseases and injuries at work.
Workers also have an equally important and responsible role in ensuring healthy and safe working conditions, in this direction SSM is committed to regulate the precise, concrete and active role of the president of the trade union organization and the representative of the employees for safety and health in the companies .
This year, activities are undertaken to review the state of the implementation of the OSH Law, ie on the basis of the proposals and the perceptions of the social partners, it will be taken up if the law should be changed or a new OSH law is required. In CCM activities are underway to review the situation from the application of the Law on OSH primarily in the companies and on the basis of the obtained data SSM will give its proposal regarding the necessary changes in the legislation in this area.
At the same time, PIC is that the full exercise of rights in terms of providing healthy and safe working conditions depends on the advancement of collective bargaining primarily in companies. There is a small number of KDs at the level of the employer or CD at branch level, that is, the activity that regulates these issues. Our goal in the next period will be to promote collective bargaining in this direction, that is, we will strive for all OSH issues to be covered and regulated by CD.
Cooperation and joint activities with the inspection bodies, the civil sector, the scientific and expert public are also significant. CCM is open for cooperation and joint action with all institutions responsible for creating safe working conditions for workers. In that sense, representatives of SSM participated in numerous workshops, forums and consultations on OSH issues.
Perspectively, the social partners and the civil sector should engage in increasing their own capacities and raising public awareness of the need to improve and promote occupational safety and health. This will be our priority in the upcoming period, and in that direction, CCM will continue with the continuous activity for enabling membership and trade union leadership on all issues from the aspect of OSH.

Macedonia: Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (CCM)
Стани дел од синдикатот и направи
значајна промена
ОДБЕЛЕЖУВАЊЕ НА МЕЃУНАРОДНИОТ ДЕН ЗА БЕЗБЕДНОСТ И ЗДРАВЈЕ ПРИ РАБОТА
Сојузот на синдикатите на Македонија како репрезентативен синдикат и социјален партнер во државата, е активен чинител во креирањето на политиките за економски и општествен развој, чиј дел е и областа за БЗР.
Одбележувајќи го Светскиот ден на безбедноста и здравјето при работа- 28 Април, истакнуваме дека обезбедувањето на здравите и безбедни услови за работа за работниците се приоритет во ангажманот на ССМ.
Безбедните услови во компаниите се основна претпоставка за непречено обавување на работните задачи на работниците, затоа што тие се гаранција за зачувување на животот и здравјето на работниците, подобрување на работењето и зголемување на продуктивноста на трудот во компаниите.
Здравите и безбедни услови за работа се заедничка активност и трипартитно единство на сите социјални партнери во државата кои по пат на меѓусебно координирана акција треба да придонесат за унапредување на целокупниот систем за обезбедување на сигурни и безбедни услови за работа.
По пат на социјален дијалог, со активно учество и на ССМ е донесена Националната стратегија за БЗР 2016–2020, како и Акцискиот план, а во државата функционира и Национален совет за БЗР како трипартитно експертско и советодавно тело за БЗР.
Примарна е одговорност на работодавачите за обезбедување на здрави и безбедни услови за работниците во работните средини, но исто толку се одговорни и работниците. Тоа значи дека работодавачите се должни да инвестираат во безбедни технологии, во унапредување на условите на работните места и во превенцијата на професионалните болести и повреди на работа.
Работниците, исто така имаат еднакво важна и одговорна улога во обезбедувањето на здрави и безбедни услови за работа, во оваа насока ССМ се залага за уредување на прецизна, конкретна и активна улога на претседателот на синдикалната организација и претставникот на вработените за безбедност и здравје во компаниите.
Оваа година се преземаат активности за согледување на состојбата од примената на Законот за БЗР, односно врз основа на предлозите и согледувањата на социјалните партнери ќе се заземе став дали законот треба да се менува или е потребно донесување на нов Закон за БЗР. Во ССМ во тек се активности за согледување на состојбите од примената на Законот за БЗР пред се во компаниите и врз основа на добиените податоци ССМ ќе го даде својот предлог во врска со потребните измени на законската регулатива во оваа област.
Истовремено став на ССМ е и дека целосното остварување на правата од аспект на обезбедување на здрави и безбедни услови за работа зависи од унапредување на колективното договарање првенствено во компаниите. Мал е бројот на КД на ниво на работодавач или КД на ниво на гранка, односно дејност кои ги регулираат овие прашања. Наша цел во наредниот период ќе биде да се унапреди колективното договарање во овој правец, односно ќе се залагаме сите прашања за БЗР да бидат опфатени и регулирани со КД.
Значајна е и соработката и заедничките активности со инспекциските органи, граѓанскиот сектор, научната и стручната јавност. ССМ е отворен за соработка и заедничко делување со сите институции одговорни за креирањето на безбедни работни услови за работниците. Во таа смисла претставници на ССМ учествуваа на голем број работилници, форуми и советувања во врска со прашањата за БЗР.
Перспективно социјалните партнери и граѓанскиот сектор треба да се ангажираат за зголемување на сопствените капацитети и подигнување на јавната свест за потребата од подобрување и унапредување на безбедноста и здравјето при работа. Тоа ќе биде наш приоритет во наредниот период и во таа насока ССМ ќе продолжи со континуираната активност за оспособување на членството и синдикалните раководства за сите прашања од аспект на БЗР.

Canada: Day of Mourning Ceremonies 2019 | Canadian Labour Congress
The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) has published a listing of the large number of International Workers’ Memorial Day events across Canada.
April 28 is the labour movement’s most solemn day. Every year, thousands of workers, friends and families of fallen workers gather at ceremonies across Canada to recognize the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. As we mourn for the dead, the Canadian Labour Congress continues to fight for the living.

Canada: CUPE – posters, flags, bookmarks and other resources. Day of Mourning
CUPE’S National Health and Safety Committee first proposed the creation of a national Day of Mourning in 1984.
That idea came to fruition in 1991 when the federal government passed legislation to establish April 28th as the Day of Mourning. It has grown internationally as the World Day for Safety and Health at Work and is recognized in more than 120 countries around the world.
When they envisioned the day, the members of the committee wanted to remember lives lost in the workplace. But there was a broader point. The day was also supposed to remind all workers that we need to fight for the living and inspire us to prevent further tragedies.
On each Day of Mourning, CUPE honours the members who died on the job.
