Workers Memorial Day 2025 - Fight for Our Lives Safe Jobs Now!

Boston, MALocal News

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), passed in 1971, guarantees every worker a safe job. On Workers Memorial Day, Boston honors two workers who died from workplace-related illnesses last year, reflecting on the ongoing need for safety improvements. Mayor Michelle Wu's Worker Empowerment Cabinet has implemented initiatives to enhance worker safety, including the City’s Construction and Demolition Safety Ordinance. This ordinance mandates safety plans and training for construction workers, reaching over 1,200 individuals since its launch. Deputy Chief Jodi Sugerman-Brozan noted the partnership with labor rights advocates, which has strengthened these safety measures.

The Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety & Health highlighted the positive impact of these initiatives in its recent report. The city is dedicated to promoting labor standards to ensure all workers can return home safely. For further information, residents can visit the Office of Labor Compliance and Worker Protections.
