On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Mine Safety and Health Administration will come together to recognize Workers Memorial Day (April 28) as a nation to honor and remember all our fallen workers.
We cordially invite you to join us in-person at the Workers Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony that will be held in-person at 1 p.m. ET (Frances Perkins Building, 200 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC, Great Hall and Veteran's Plaza) and at our first Workers Memorial Candlelight Vigil at 7 p.m. ET (more details to come).
If you are unable to join in-person, please know the afternoon ceremonies will be live streamed (www.osha.gov) for your convenience.
