We believe all workers are entitled to a safe and healthy workplace. Without access to the latest information, workers and their families could be at risk to injury and chemical exposure. Making this information available on our web page is just one way the IAMAW is working toward this goal. More information may be available through your District or Local Lodge representative.Safety and Health Committees
Setting Up a Joint Labor / Management Safety and Health Committee
Currently there are many different safety and health committees being developed. There are several ways to implement a safety and health program. When developing a safety and health program numerous elements must be considered prior to the design of that program. Review the following and evaluate if your committee has the foundation for success. The IAMAW Safety and Health Department can help you get on the right track. If you need assistance or training contact the Safety and Department at (301) 967-4704 or see IAM C.R.E.S.T. on this site.
Keeping Employees Informed
The IAMAW, along with the other affiliated unions of the AFL-CIO, has historically promoted workplace safety and health laws. The Occupational Safety and Health ACT was enacted in 1970 as a direct result of organized labors support and efforts. These laws have helped not only union workers but all the workers who come under the ACT.
