OKLAHOMA CITY – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration will recognize Workers’ Memorial Day on April 28 by holding various events throughout the country.

American workers are the backbone of our nation’s prosperity and a focal point of President Trump’s “America First” agenda. With the recent increased growth in manufacturing, mining and construction industries, OSHA renews its commitment to making safety a priority through education, training and collaboration with American workers, businesses and state partners.

OSHA will honor those in Oklahoma who have been injured or lost their lives in the workplace, helping to support and strengthen our nation, during a Workers’ Memorial Day Candlelight Vigil at 11 a.m. inside the Oklahoma State Capitol, Second Floor Rotunda.
