• Description:
  The New York Committee for Occupational Health and Safety (NYCOSH) is a non-profit coalition of 150 labor unions and more than 200 safety and health activists, legal and health professionals, community organizers and activists. NYCOSH is dedicated to the right of every worker to a safe and healthful workplace. For more than 35 years, NYCOSH has provided high quality training and technical assistance to workers on how to reduce or eliminate job-related hazards in an effort to improve workplace safety. For this project, NYCOSH project staff used our well-established national and local networks to reach populations of World Trade Center responders and survivors. To increase participation in the World Trade Center Health Program, we reached out to people locally and nationally with information about the benefits they are afforded under the James Zadroga Bill.
