Melissa Moriarty, the storytelling and communications specialist for the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the 11th annual Dirty Dozen Report.
NCOSH has released the Dirty Dozen Report for its 11th year in a row. The Dirty Dozen Report lists the top 12 companies in America with the most unsafe workplaces. NCOSH uses OSHA citations, death and accident reports and other safety issues to determine the top 12 unsafe workplaces. This year’s report covers accidents and safety issues from the 2022 fiscal year.
Several companies in the Dirty Dozen have made multiple appearances throughout the years. This year’s major returning companies are Amazon, FedEx and Tesla. Some companies like Twin Peaks Restaurant and Tenet Healthcare make it on the list from employee recommendations. Others, like Norfolk Southern, have found their way on the list due to major tragedies under normal daily operations.
Following the death of a worker at Trulieve, a provider of cannabis products, many are fighting for a safer workplace standard. Massachussets branch of COSH, better known as MassCOSH, is currently leading a health and safety campaign for workers in the cannabis industry in Massachussets. Along with organizing the campaign, MassCOSH is helping support the cannabis workers in their fight for better personal protection equipment, Moriarty added.
