Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you had a relaxing holiday season and are as geared up as we are for another great year of worker health and safety.
First off, thank you to all of you who helped make the 2013 National Worker Safety and Health Conference such a wonderful event! We had approximately 300 attendees, hailing from COSH groups, labor unions, worker centers, advocacy groups, and academic institutions.

The holidays are a busy time. There is finishing up year-end projects, getting finances in order, and if you’re lucky, buying (and wrapping) gifts for loved ones. But you are not the only one keeping up the frenetic pace.

We at National COSH are busy wrapping up during the end of the year, especially as we sift through photos, edit videos, and read through evaluations from last week's hugely successful National Worker Safety and Health Conference. (We promise an update about the conference and all of the accompanying goodies is coming soon!) But as we're playing catch-up, we realize you might be ready to wind down for the year.
Looking for some health and safety holiday reads? Journalists have been churning out some quality work that is sure to fire you up for another year.
