Who We Are
Worksafe is a California-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting occupational safety and health through education, training, technical and legal assistance, and advocacy.  We focus on eliminating all types of workplace hazards and also on workplace-created toxic hazards that impact at-risk communities in California.  We advocate for protective worker health and safety laws and effective remedies for injured workers.

Worksafe supports a network of health and safety activists. We strive to  empower California workers and their representatives to better protect the California workforce. We are a coalition of labor and community groups, individual workers, osh and other professionals, environmentalists and other interested persons. We welcome members - please join us.

The Worksafe Law Center, a project of Worksafe, is a legal services support center.   We provide advocacy, technical and legal assistance and training to legal services programs throughout California who directly serve California's most vulnerable low-wage workers.
