2
.3 million people are killed worldwide
by work each year and up 50,000 in the UK. Families of those killed,
Hazards Campaigners and Unions worldwide this year are calling for
"Good Occupational Health for all workers". see
Families Against Corporate Killers see
www.fack.org.uk
Every year more people are killed at
work than in wars. Most don't die of mystery ailments, or in tragic
"accidents". They die because an employer decided their
safety just wasn't that important a priority. 1, 600 -1,700 people
die each year in UK in work-related incidents and up to 50,000 die
from work related diseases. The country should remember them on
this day, as they do in other countries and by doing so reduce this
slaughter.
