       Workers Memorial Day in Nevada.


  WHEREAS, On April 28, 1995, the American 
Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations 
will observe Workers Memorial Day, a day to remember workers 
who have been killed, injured or diseased on the job and to 
renew the commitment to prevent these tragedies in the 
future; and
  WHEREAS, This date has significance in that it 
is the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health 
Act; and
  WHEREAS, Every year more than 6 million 
workers are killed, injured or diseased on the job which 
amounts to approximately one worker every 5 seconds; and
  WHEREAS, In the State of Nevada there have 
been over 70 deaths caused in work-related injuries in the 
past 2 1/2 years; and
  WHEREAS, Too often these tragedies and the 
devastation they cause for the workers, their families and 
co-workers are quickly forgotten; now, therefore, be it
  RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, THE 
SENATE CONCURRING, That the members of the 68th 
session of the Nevada Legislature hereby designate April 28, 
1995, as Workers Memorial Day, a day to honor workers who 
have died as a result of work-related injuries; and be it 
further
  RESOLVED, That residents of Nevada are hereby 
urged to observe this day by recognizing the need for 
strengthening the safety in the workplace so that future 
tragedies are prevented.
