Community Awareness Campaign on Occupational Safety (CACOS)

What is CACOS?

The goal of CACOS program is to reduce work-related exposures, injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. We aim to raise the awareness of Vietnamese employees and employers about occupational safety & health issues and the rights of workers to a safe workplace environment. This program is funded by Occupational Safety and Health Admin (OSHA - www.osha.gov) since 2000. This program is currently implemented in 6 cities: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC; Springfield, MA; Philadelphia, PA; Houston, TX and St. Louis, MO. So far, we have collaborated with several agencies to bring training to Vietnamese employers and employees such as North Carolina Dept of Labor, MA Department of Labor and Cơ quan OSHA Regional III in Philadelphia, and Regional IV in Atlanta.
