The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH), a nationwide training and advocacy organization for workers and families, is accepting nominations for its “Dirty Dozen” list of employers who fail to provide safe conditions for their workers.
“We’re looking for employers who are putting workers and communities at risk because of unsafe practices,” said Jessica Martinez, co-executive director of National COSH. “Unfortunately, there are plenty to choose from. Thousands of U.S. workers die on the job every year and millions more are injured. Most – if not all – of these tragic events can be prevented when workers are free from retaliation and are empowered to recognize, report and remediate workplace hazards.”
