MassCOSH (Mass. Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health)
About
MassCOSH, the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health, unites workers and activists to end dangerous working conditions, push for safer jobs and build healthy communities. Listed in Dorchester’s Fields Corner, it offers training, advocacy and organizing so that workers come home safe. Its classes include OSHA 10-hour construction safety courses covering hazard identification, fall protection, electrical safety and protective equipment, as well as asbestos and lead training that teaches workers and community members to recognize and control exposure.
The coalition also takes up specific workplace fights, such as demanding answers about documented asbestos-handling failures at the Cambria Hotel project in East Boston, holding a rally and a press conference on workers’ rights and retaliation. Its Immigrant Worker Center joined city offices and community groups for a training and resource fair honoring domestic workers. A multi-day Labor, Health and Safety Summit offers education and professional development for young and adult workers.
