Join MassCOSH for Workers' Memorial Day

While everyone is looking forward to spring and the warmer weather that comes with it, MassCOSH recognizes that yet another year has passed. And although we’ve made great strides toward ensuring that all jobs are safe and healthy, sadly we must remember and commemorate those who were injured and who lost their lives while at work in 2007.
