Safety Awareness: Workers’ Rights

This CLS: Safety Awareness – Workers’ Rights course teaches workers about their right to a safe workplace. Starting with the signing of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970, we cover how the US government has passed laws to protect workers and established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to enforce those laws. Topics include rights protected by law, reporting unaddressed hazardous conditions anonymously, procedures for refusing unsafe work, personal protective equipment, and training requirements.
