The bill H. 3941 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to officially declare April 28, 2025, as "Workers' Memorial Day." This day is intended to honor and pay tribute to the working men and women who have lost their lives due to workplace injuries and illnesses. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of South Carolina's workforce to the state's economy and acknowledges the tragic reality that many workers die or suffer from occupational diseases each year, often without public recognition.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering these fallen workers and their families, while also advocating for improved safety measures, enforcement standards, and fair compensation for workplace-related deaths and injuries. By designating this day, the South Carolina General Assembly aims to raise awareness about workplace safety and the sacrifices made by workers in the state.
