The bill H. 5268 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to officially declare April 28, 2026, 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 these workers to the state's economy and acknowledges the tragic reality that many workers die each year while performing their jobs, often without public recognition.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering those who have died or been injured on the job, as well as the need for continued efforts to improve workplace safety and health measures. It notes that in 2023, 5,283 American workers died from job-related causes, underscoring the ongoing risks faced by employees. By declaring this day, the South Carolina General Assembly aims to ensure that the sacrifices of these workers are not forgotten and to promote a culture of safety and accountability in the workplace.
