Occupational safety and health is not just about aiding those who have already been injured by hazardous or negligent practices. at The Firm we believe the key to winning the battle against occupational hazards is helping to prevent workplace tragedies such as those that occurred in the asbestos industry. For this reason we work with organizations that represent the interests of working people, such as the AFL-CIO and WORKSAFE!, and with government agencies mandated to protect the safety and health of working people, such as CAL/OSHA and NIOSH. We participate directly in community and workplace efforts to identify hazards, inform community members and workers of their rights, and make sure that the law protects these rights.
