Education and Activism Opportunity!!

H and S community in Denver on Nov. 4-7

USMWF was able to bring 13 family members to attend the National COSH meeting the Health and Safety Summit and meet with an amazing team at the Denver OSHA office, Region 8 . The Denver visit was a very unique because USMWF members have never meet with a Labor Liaison or a Solicitor of Labor.  USMWF has enjoyed many events and meetings with OSHA offices but felt this particular visit was a good start for new relationships and very informative.

    • NIOSH - NIOSH provides grants to nine State agencies for its Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (FACE), which provides in-depth investigation reports for a small number of work-related fatality incidents. USMWF will be aligning the photos and tributes from our Faces campaign with these State-FACE reports. Although only a small fraction of all work-related fatalities are assessed through this FACE program, we do want to make the connections to give an identity to the deceased worker and to increase the opportunity to learn lessons from a family's loss.
