Safety and Health Knowledge is power. When it comes to safety, knowledge can literally mean the difference between life and death. The safety and health related articles below are intended to inform, educate and assist our members on important issues that affect them, their families and our union as well as all workers. The IAM's Safety & Health Department The IAMAW, along with the other affiliated unions of the AFL-CIO, has historically promoted workplace safety and health laws. The Occupational Safety and Health ACT was enacted in 1970 as a direct result of organized labors support and efforts. These laws have helped not only union workers but all the workers who come under the ACT. Protecting lives and making a healthier workplace is just one of the many benefits provided by the Machinists' Union. The following information is furnished to educate those workers interested in promoting safety in their workplaces. The IAM's Safety & Health Department has a number of responsibilities in
addition to its assisting the leadership and members with safety and health
issues. The department also administrates information on the
IAM's Scholarship program,
provides assistance in developing and setting up
Apprenticeship programs,
IAM C.R.E.S.T., the IAM Corporation for Re-employment and Safety Training,
provides education and training and return to work services.
