Health and Saftey
UAW members can draw upon the resources and expertise of the largest health and safety department of any American union.
The UAW Health and Safety Department educates UAW members, local union leaders, and staff about ways to prevent and eliminate safety and health hazards. It assists other departments and local unions in negotiating contract provisions and in designing and running health and safety programs.
The department also helps the UAW-CAP and Legislative staff deal with Congress and government agencies on health and safety issues.
