The National Workers Memorial in the national capital, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, is Australia's place for honouring workers who have died as a result of work-related accidents, incidents and disease. ==Purpose== In May 2011, the Government of Australia provided funding for the design and construction of a memorial "to honour and pay tribute to working Australians who have died as a result of work-related accidents, incidents and disease".〔 The other stated purposes are: *To serve "as a poignant reminder of the importance of work health and safety and the need for a determined and continued effort by all to prevent work-related accidents and disease. It is also a place to reflect on the evolving values, ideas and aspirations of the Australian community in relation to work health and safety."〔(National Workers Memorial (official website) ), retrieved 2 June 2013〕 *To provide "a place for visitors to lay a tribute for a loved one, a location to pause and reflect within earshot of the National Carillon’s bells, as well as allowing a space for congregation, interaction and ceremony."〔 *To provide "an important focal point for the national commemoration of Workers Memorial Day, recognised internationally on 28 April each year."〔 Workplace deaths amount to around 300 per year in Australia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Workers Memorial (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
