Czech Republic: ČMKOS symbolicky položí 104 křížů za oběti smrtelných pracovních úrazů

 

Zveřejněno: 27.04.2017

Již tradičně si 28. dubna připomínají odbory na celém světě památku obětí pracovních úrazů, nemocí z povolání a zraněných při práci. Hlavním smyslem je poukazovat na nutnost zdravého pracovní prostředí a zdůrazňovat velmi významný  a stále podceňovaný význam prevence v oblasti bezpečnosti práce.

Za účasti generálního inspektora SÚIP Rudolfa Hahna, předsedy ČMKOS Josefa Středuly a místopředsedkyně ČMKOS Radky Sokolové se 28. dubna 2017 ve 12 hod. před sídlem ČMKOS (nám. W. Churchilla 2, Praha 3) uskuteční pietní akt za 104  zbytečně vyhaslých lidských životů.
