Day of mourning for workplace deaths

Those who lost their lives in a workplace incident or due to occupational disease will be remembered on an international day of mourning in April.

Countries around the world pause on 28 April each year to remember loved ones who have passed away.

The International Day of Mourning is a sad reminder to everybody to take a moment to think about the significance of work health and safety and how workplace incidents affect those around us.

This year’s events will be held on Saturday, 28 April 2018 at 11.45 am for 12 pm in Sydney and on the Central Coast.

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.

The events will take place at Reflection Park, Little Pier Street, Darling Harbour and 8 Chittaway Road, Ourimbah.
