Comprehensive Information on Covid-19
Your health and wellness matter to MassCOSH on and off the job and we are able to provide tailored training for workers on infectious disease control. With your needs in mind, we are compiling trusted, vetted information on how you can increase your chances of staying well during the COVID-19 outbreak. We will also be providing additional information on health and economic equity for low-wage workers and families who suffer disproportionately during times such as these.

The document titled COVID-19 Tool Kit for Workers: Health and Safety Protections and How to Make Them Happen, is the result of hundreds of work hours and utilizes decades of experience from the best occupational health experts in Massachusetts.
