You have the right to a workplace free of recognized health and safety hazards. Laws are in place to protect you from employers who put profit before the health and safety of workers.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created to ensure safe working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education and assistance. OSHA is part of the U.S. Department of Labor.

Local 804 works closely with the State Department of Labor’s Division of Safety and Health and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to resolve issues that arise at worksites. 



Members are our most important source of information: our eyes and ears. Help to make your job safe by reporting your concerns and those of your co-workers to Local 804’s Safety Director or to your steward. Contact us whenever you observe a worksite problem that appears serious and is not being addressed by management.  Useful Links
