The MTA Environmental Health and Safety Committee is pleased to present the Health and Safety Handbook. You will find tips on common health hazards experienced by educators in our work environments. It reflects knowledge by MTA members about our rights and means for collective action for improving conditions and taking ownership of our own health. As a living document, the EH&S Committee will continue to update and maintain its applicability to ever-evolving environmental challenges.
