Powerful! The Center for Public Integrity published the first of a three-part series examining the epidemic of work-related disease in America. The second part, which will run on Wednesday will focuses on the risks unborn children face from their parents’ exposures. On July 6th, the Center for Public Integrity will examine the struggles that have plagued the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) since it opened its doors 44 years ago. Other stories will run later in the year. Join the Facebook conversation on the Worker Safety group.
