The Midwest Region Laborers’ Health and Safety Fund (MRLHSF) was established in 1999 to assist union members and signatory contractors in protecting their welfare on and off the jobsite. The Health and Safety Fund coordinates activities with Local Unions and signatory contractors to increase worker productivity and decrease worker injuries through the creation of a safe, healthier workplace.

Steps and Services

Construction consistently ranks among the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. so it makes sense that construction laborers are more likely to be in pain - and seek relief from that pain - than the average employee.

LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan said, "Opioids have become another occupational hazard in the construction industry. LIUNA and its signatory partners fight every day to keep Laborers safe from hazards ranging from trench collapses to asbestos and silica. it's time to start counting opioids on this list of potential hazards and finding ways to prevent them from harming LIUNA members and their families."
