Am I Safe at Work?

Far too many employers are putting the lives of working people at risk. We are being asked to work without the adequate protections and protocols that help keep us safe from becoming infected with COVID-19.

Find out if your employer is doing enough to keep you and your co-workers safe.

  

Has your employer:

Informed you of COVID-19 risks in your workplace and plans to protect you from becoming infected?
Notified you of COVID-19 cases in your workplace?
Provided additional paid time off if you or a family member is exposed to, or tests positive for, COVID-19?
Made physical changes to your workplace to distance you from co-workers and members of the public?
Changed work procedures to allow for additional cleaning and breaks for hand-washing?
Provided enough personal protective equipment (respirators, gloves, gowns, etc.) with training on how to use it properly?
Required the use of masks by members of the public?
Provided a way for you and your co-workers to raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation?


 

If you answered NO to any question, your employer isn’t doing enough to keep you safe.

 

Learn more about your rights to a safe workplace and how collective action with your co-workers can improve workplace safety and save lives.
