Am 28. April ist Workers Memorial Day. Wir gedenken weltweit der Besch\u00e4ftigten, die bei der Arbeit erkrankt oder zu Tode gekommen sind. F\u00fcr uns ist klar: Jeder Arbeitsunfall ist einer zu viel und muss verhindert werden. Arbeit darf nicht krank machen und schon gar nicht t\u00f6dlich sein! Es geht um Menschen und nicht um Zahlen! Wir stehen gemeinsam f\u00fcr sichere und gute Jobs. Das hei\u00dft auch, Risiken zu minimieren und f\u00fcr mehr Arbeitsschutz zu sorgen. Die Verl\u00e4ngerung der Arbeitszeit erh\u00f6ht das Risiko von Arbeitsunf\u00e4llen. Also: H\u00e4nde weg vom 8-Stunden-Tag! Arbeitsschutz st\u00e4rken! #WorkersMemorialDay<\/a><\/span> #1Mai26<\/a><\/span> #StarkMitUns<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

On the 28th. April is Workers’ Memorial Day. We remember those working people around the world who have fallen ill or died on the job. It is clear for us: every accident at work is one too many and must be prevented. Work must not make you sick and not even be fatal! It’s about people, not numbers! We stand together for safe and good jobs. This also means minimizing risks and ensuring more safety at work. Prolonging working hours increases the risk of accidents at work. Well: hands off 8 hr day! Strengthen workplace safety! #WorkersMemorialDay<\/a><\/span> #1May26<\/a><\/span> #StrongWithUs<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
