Worksafe

Description

Worksafe is a California-based organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the basic right of all people to a safe and healthy workplace. They envision a world where all workers are safe and healthy. Worksafe advocates for strong occupational safety and health (OSH) protections for workers — particularly low-income, immigrant, and contingent workers. Worksafe addresses OSH rulemaking at Cal/OSHA and the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board. They promote access to justice for low-wage and immigrant workers by providing free legal training and technical assistance to legal aid programs, worker advocacy groups, and unions. Worksafe raises awareness about occupational health and safety to help people better understand the connections between work and health. They strive to build a collective understanding of how workplace exposures intersect with broader public health and social justice issues. Worksafe also runs campaigns relating to workers' safety and a healthy workplace. Their website has a resource list of organizations dedicated to workers' safety and providing assistance to them.
