On 28 April each year an International Day of Mourning is held to remember loved ones who have lost their lives due to a workplace incident or occupational disease. The International Day of Mourning reminds all of us to take a moment to think about the significance of work health and safety, and how workplace incidents affect those around us. We can also use it as the opportunity to motivate and encourage us to keep working towards a safer workplace.
This year, a memorial will be held in Sydney and on the Central Coast on Saturday 28 April, 2018 at 11.45am for 12pm. During the events, families will have the opportunity to honour their loved ones by attaching dedications on ‘memory cards’ and flowers to the Memory Lines sculpture in Sydney and the Memory Wall in Ourimbah.
