This Workers Memorial Day, we honor those lost or injured due to workplace incidents and illnesses, emphasizing the importance of workplace safety education to prevent future tragedies. In 2021, 5,190 workers died on the job in the United States, with an additional 120,000 succumbing to occupational diseases. This day commemorates the enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, guaranteeing the right to a safe job through the labor movement's efforts. Despite progress, approximately 343 workers still die daily from workplace hazards, underscoring ongoing safety challenges. Anti-regulatory measures threaten worker well-being, highlighting the need for continued advocacy and collective action to ensure every worker's right to a safe and dignified workplace.

As the days continue to scorch from the latest heat wave, indoor workers will be thrilled to learn that California has mandated heat protections for them too! Because facilities like warehouses, restaurants and refineries can send the mercury rising, California Department of Industrial Relations (Cal/OSHA) is now requiring employers to: > Provide employees with cool places to take breaks when the thermometer tops 82 degrees > Change how people work after 87 degrees > Provide PPE for the heat if necessary GEKLAW applauds these efforts to protect an estimated 1.4 million people statewide. But if a workplace injury occurs in spite of safeguards, call (213) 739-7000 to help with your workers’ compensation claim. https://lnkd.in/eY-Uk-J2
