A little bit about National COSH
Founded in 2004, National COSH works to ensure that all workers can earn their living with dignity and respect and return home alive and well at the end of their shift.
National COSH engages and impacts workers in communities across the country through a network of 23 state and local non-profit COSH groups (Coalitions/committees on Occupational Safety and Health). First established in 1972, COSH groups unite workers with labor, community, legal and health allies to win decent, just working conditions and build a powerful movement encompassing racial, economic, and environmental justice.
With their national network of local affiliates and partners, National COSH is actively engaged in:
- Training workers to strengthen their knowledge and leadership skills on health and safety, organizing and advocacy in multiple languages.
- Advocating for better enforcement of existing health and safety laws and fighting for new protections for workers.
- Promoting a national agenda to improve immigrant worker safety and health.
- Advocating for just compensation for injured workers.
