- Visit your elected officials and tell them that safe work saves lives.
- Hold a training, teach-in, informative talk, or discussion group at your school, workplace, or union about worker fatalities and how to make workplaces safer.
- Write an op-ed or letter to the editor for your local paper, highlighting local workplace fatalities and prevention strategies.
- Make a Workers' Memorial Week banner, and hang it where it can be widely seen!
- Reach out to family members who lost loved ones; include their stories in public education programs.
- These are just some suggestions, but feel free to be creative!
