   Safety program needs volunteers
   ---------------------------------

The Maquiladora Health ＆ Safety Support Network, a network of 350 volunteer
occupational health and safety professionals who provide information, technical
assistance, and on-site instruction regarding workplace hazards at the more than
3,200 foreign-owned assembly ("maquiladora") plants along the U.S-Mexico border,
is seeking additional volunteers.

Network members, including industrial hygienists, occupational physicians and
nurses, and health educators among others, donate their time and expertise to
create safer and healthier working conditions for the over 850,000 maquiladora
workers employed by the primarily U.S.-owned transnational corporations along
Mexico's northern border from Matamoros to Tijuana.

The intent of the support network is not to generate business opportunities for
private consultants or other for-profit enterprises. On the contrary, network
participants donate their time and knowledge pro bono to border-area workers and
professional associations.

The Maquiladora Health ＆ Safety Support Network was launched in October 1993 at
the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA). It includes
occupational health specialists from Canada, Mexico, and the United States who
are active in the APHA, ACGIH, American Industrial Hygiene Association, American
Society of Safety Engineers, and the 25 local grassroots Committee for Occupa-
tional Safety and Health (COSH) groups in the United States and Canada.

The support network is continuously seeking more health and safety professionals
and activists to join the network as well as looking for more border community
organizations who can make use of the information and technical assistance
offered.
