As we recognize the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001 and remember those whose lives were lost or impacted, we will also never forget those who answered the call in the following days, weeks, and months. This includes the thousands of emergency responders and volunteers who worked tirelessly day and night to remove debris and search through the rubble for potential survivors and recover the remains of those we lost. It also includes many members of the OSHA staff from both Federal and State Plan programs, who worked at the World Trade Center recovery site to ensure that workers had the protections that they needed to perform their work. As a result of these efforts and the unprecedented collaboration between all sectors and levels of government, no workers lost their lives during the recovery efforts that followed this national tragedy. Two decades later, we remain thankful and proud of these heroes and their efforts in the face of chaos and uncertainty. Adblock test (Why?)
