4 The BlueGreen Alliance is a national, strategic partnership between labor unions and environmental organizations dedicated to expanding the number and quality of jobs in the green economy.

Workers and Chemicals 1. How can we build a conversation among workers about the problems with chemicals and using safer chemicals ? 2. Where do workers learn about chemicals and what resources do they use?

Three Problems With MSDS  Don’t really answer our questions  Between 30 and 100% of the studied products contained undeclared chemicals  Of 150 MSDS sheets only 37% had accurate data on health effects of the listed chemicals  Accuracy, Comprehensibility, and Use of MaterialSafety Data Sheets: A Review, Nicol, A.M. et al; AJIM, 51; (2008)
