Abstract | The North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Project (NCOSH) is a private, nonprofit membership organization of workers, union locals, and health and legal professionals. Chiefly working through local unions, NCOSH volunteers and staff offer training and education relating to toxic chemicals, safety hazards, stress, video display terminals (VDTs), repetitive motion, reproductive hazards, workers' compensation, and other issues. NCOSH also assists unions in strengthening health and safety contract language and effectively using the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration (NC OSHA). NCOSH offers technical assistance and research services relating to specific complaints, maintains reference materials, and makes medical and legal referrals as appropriate. Fighting for stronger OSHA standards, building coalitions, and gaining public support for union safety and health struggles are parts of NCOSH's political mission. NCOSH office files, include membership lists, financial records, investigative files, and materials relating to labor history. Also included are videotapes and slide presentations, many of them about asbestos in the workplace. |
