About Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety & Health, Inc.

Founded in 1976, MassCOSH brings together workers, unions, community groups, and health and safety activists to organize and advocate for safe, secure jobs and healthy communities. Through training, technical assistance and building community/labor alliances, MassCOSH mobilizes its members and develops leaders in the movement to end unsafe work conditions. MassCOSH believes that only through collective power will workers be able to change workplace conditions and influence the policies that govern these conditions. MassCOSH has a special focus on immigrants and other lower-income adults, and young people of color who often work in jobs that are the most unsafe and unhealthy.
