American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)

This American trade union site has a separate Safety and Health section which looks at various aspects of this issue, such as ergonomics, women at work and new legislation. Considerable attention is paid to the subject of ergonomics and to RSI and the financial costs it poses to the community as a whole and to companies; this is largely prompted by the repeal of an OSHA law about ergonomics by the BUSH administration. A comprehensive section of links to other safety & health sites on the Internet offers visitors a good deal of assistance in their search for information.
