This resolution declares April 28, 2025, as Workers Memorial Day in Michigan, commemorating workplace safety and honoring workers who have been injured or killed on the job. The resolution provides context by noting that the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) went into effect on April 28, 1971, and highlights the significant number of workplace fatalities reported by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The document acknowledges 112 MIOSHA-covered workplace fatalities between 2022 and 2024 and over 16,000 national workplace deaths between 2021 and 2023, emphasizing that each statistic represents a human life lost. The resolution calls for recognition of Michigan's workforce, their contributions to the state's economic growth, and a continued commitment to workplace safety, urging vigilance to prevent future workplace accidents and protect workers.
