A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Workers' Memorial Day, honoring workers who have been killed or injured in the workplace, and recognizing the importance of strengthening worker health and safety protections.
SRES 600 is a Senate resolution supporting Workers' Memorial Day to honor workers killed or injured on the job. It cites statistics showing 4,764 workplace fatalities in 2020 and emphasizes the need to strengthen health and safety protections, particularly highlighting OSHA's limited resources (only inspecting workplaces once every 236 years). The resolution encourages OSHA, employers, and community organizations to increase awareness about preventing workplace injuries and illnesses. It does not create new laws but serves as a symbolic call to action for safer working conditions.
