The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH) is a non-profit worker advocacy organization dedicated to promoting safe and healthy working conditions. It serves as a national network of local worker safety groups, advocating for stronger workplace protections, supporting worker organizing around health and safety issues, and promoting policies that prevent occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
National COSH typically pursues legislation and regulations that strengthen workplace health and safety standards, enhance enforcement of occupational safety laws, protect whistleblowers, expand workers’ rights to organize around safety concerns, address environmental and chemical hazards, and promote equity in workplace protections for vulnerable and immigrant workers.
The organization is primarily funded through foundation grants, charitable contributions, and donations from individuals and allied labor and advocacy organizations.
National COSH is affiliated with a network of regional and local COSH groups, labor unions, worker centers, and occupational health advocates.
