Safety and Health Facts
UFCW members work around dangerous equipment and in hazardous conditions. Like many workers, we work under immense pressure to get the job done and may not always have enough help. As a result, injuries occur. Sometimes these injuries are minor, but all too often they may result in death or traumatic injuries, such as amputations.
Below is information about injury prevention and protection, as well as current legislative bills or explanations on safety issues of concern.
