Scottish Hazards has developed a map of memorials established across Scotland to commemorate International Workers Memorial Day as well as recording other memorials commemorating workers who have lost their lives in workplace tragedies and individuals who have left for work never to return to their families.
Pictures of memorials and individual cases will be added to in the coming weeks and months and if you know of any family who would like their story told please contact Scottish Hazards.
Likewise if you know of a memorial in your community that marks an incident where workers have been killed at work please send details to info@scottishhazards.org
