Read the message from United Support and Memorial for Workplace Fatalities (USMWF<\/a>) director Tonya Ford:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Good Afternoon Everyone,<\/p>\n

I hope this message finds everyone well.<\/p>\n

We wanted to reach out to everyone as we know there are many amazing Worker’s Memorial Day Events happening around the United States this month and we want to help also in getting the word out about each event to the public too.<\/p>\n

We also want to make sure that our USMWF family members are aware of any events that may be happening near them so that they may be able to join and attend the event.<\/p>\n

If you know of an event or are hosting an event near you please let us know as we will be happy to share with our family members, on our social media pages and on our website.<\/p>\n

Also, we are pleased to invite you, other workers and other advocates to attend our upcoming Workers\u2019 Memorial Day events that USMWF is hosting in Nebraska in memory and honor of our fallen workers as we strive to honor and remember our fallen workers, support our family member victims, educate our workers of workplace safety and prevent workplace incidents.<\/p>\n

Workplace safety should always be a top priority because going to work should never be a grave mistake.\u00a0 Part of USMWF\u2019S mission from the very beginning was to provide information and resources; raise public awareness; transform workplace safety; promote family involvement; bring attention to the lasting effects of workplace injuries and deaths; and to personalize workplace fatalities.<\/p>\n

With the help of many USMWF has hosted these events FREE for over seven years.\u00a0 We are proud to offer top-notch training to the community covering some of the upmost workers\u2019 safety issues and concerns.<\/p>\n
