Local 812 works closely with the State Department of Labor’s Division of Safety and Health and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to resolve issues that arise at worksites. We also lobby for stronger workplace safety laws.

Members are our most important source of information: our eyes and ears. Help to make your job safe by reporting your concerns and those of your co-workers to your Local 812 steward and/or representative. Contact us whenever you observe a worksite problem that appears serious and is not being addressed by management.
