COSHCON2025 in Chicago...
...was a tremendous success. Read all about it HERE.
The National Conference on Worker Safety and Health is the only national gathering of its kind. We bring together a diverse, inclusive and bilingual group of workers, occupational health and safety experts, unions, activists and academics united around common goals. We join together to celebrate and encourage workers' power, make our workplaces safer and reduce the toll of on-the-job injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
We are excited to partner with the University of Illinois School of Public Health for COSHCON2025. The conference will be held at the UIC Student Center East at 750 South Halsted Street in Chicago. We look forward to being together in Chicago and enjoying all that this exciting city has to offer.
