NYCOSH actively engages with local, statewide, and national media to raise awareness about workplace safety issues, advocate for stronger worker protections, and ensure that preventable workplace injuries and deaths receive the public attention they deserve. Our organization regularly provides expert commentary and data analysis to journalists covering construction accidents, occupational health crises, regulatory enforcement issues, and emerging workplace hazards affecting New York workers.
We issue press releases highlighting dangerous working conditions, responding to significant workplace incidents, and calling attention to patterns of employer violations that put workers at risk. NYCOSH staff frequently serve as media sources for stories about worker safety, offering context on industry trends, regulatory gaps, and the human impact of workplace hazards. Further, we connect the press with NYCOSH members, who are workers themselves organizing within our various campaigns. Our efforts amplify worker voices and ensure that those most affected by unsafe working conditions have a platform to share their experiences and advocate for change.
