NEW REPORT: Dangerous Jobs Killed 51 Workers in Massachusetts Last Year

Fatal injury and illness continue to impact Massachusetts workers

The Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH) and the Massachusetts AFL-CIO collaborated to produce this year’s Dying for Work: Loss of Life and Limb in Massachusetts Workplaces report (Click here to download the report: https://www.mediafire.com/file/obrm7ivkvx17bwh/DFW_Apr2023_digital.pdf/file).

The Massachusetts AFL-CIO is the umbrella organization for more than 750 local unions, joint boards and district councils in the state, representing working women and men across the Commonwealth. MassCOSH is a non-profit organization whose members include workers, unions and health and legal professionals. Their mission is to ensure that all workers earn a fair wage, are treated with respect and dignity and return home to their families alive and well.

Work continued to kill and maim workers in alarming numbers in 2022. This report has been compiled to recognize the workers and their families and to highlight these tolls. The saddest aspect of these losses is that work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable. Please join us tomorrow at the State House to honor these workers and fight for workplace safety for all: https://fb.me/e/BR7xS4zz.
