28 April 2019 International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day theme<\/p>\n

Taking control – removing dangerous substances from the workplace<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ITUC is proposing the following theme for 28 April 2019: \u201cTaking control – removing dangerous substances from the workplace.\u201d There will be a particular focus on Zero Cancer \u2013 how to eliminate or minimise exposure to carcinogens in the workplace. Affiliates are of course free to adapt or change the theme to suit local priorities.<\/p>\n

The ITUC will be developing resources in the coming weeks to support preparation of campaign materials. To assist with this we are seeking evidence of union action leading to workplace, legislative or sectoral improvements, and the human and economic payoff from this protective action. Please send details to ITUC health and safety adviser, Rory O\u2019Neill at editor@hazards.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Updates to the dedicated\u00a0 www.28april.org<\/a>\u00a0 webpages will start as materials, activities and events are confirmed.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, these existing ITUC\/international trade union resources may be of use:<\/p>\n
