NYCOSH

The New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH) has for 31 years been a leading independent voice for worker safety and health. Committed to ensuring that all workplaces are safe and healthy, NYCOSH provides training and resources to workers while advocating for strong laws and regulations. We:

• Train thousands of workers every year on how to keep themselves and their workplaces safe and healthful;

• Develop curricula and training materials covering a wide range of industries and workplace safety topics, from cutting-edge issues, such as Green Jobs, Safe Jobs, to the latest technical and regulatory information on Confined Space;

• Inform the occupational safety and health community, the labor movement, the media, and the public through publishing print and online newsletters and news digests on worker safety and health issues;

• Advocate to strengthen occupational safety and health laws and regulations at the municipal, state and federal levels;

• Raise awareness of the close interrelationship between occupational safety and environmental concerns: Protecting the worker protects the environment. Or, conversely, jobs that put workers at risk often also put the environment at risk.
