Every day in the United States, over 18,000 people are injured or made ill on the job from hazards that are almost entirely preventable. The Labor Occupational Health Program (LOHP) educates and empowers workers and communities to take an active role in making workplaces safe, healthy, dignified, and just.

For over 35 years, LOHP has worked to prevent illness and injury in the workplace and raise awareness of the social and economic costs of hazardous workplace conditions for individuals, communities, businesses, and the environment.
