Editor’s Choice: Workers’ Memorial Day
OSHA Healthcare Connection, April 26, 2011
April 28 is Workers’ Memorial Day, a day to recognize the sacrifice of workers who died or sustained work-related injuries this past year. For a healthcare worker’s perspective on this day, see “Finding safety in poetry on Workers’ Memorial Day,” a 2009 OSHA Healthcare Advisor post that pays tribute to a nurse who succumbed to hepatitis C from a needlestick at work.
