Greater Manchester Hazards Centre is an independent organisation which gives information and advice on any health, safety and welfare problems at work and hazards arising from workplaces.

This service is FREE to all workers - trade union members, safety reps, workers in non-union workplaces, homeworkers, young workers - and to community groups facing hazards in the Greater Manchester area and the North West.

Greater Manchester Hazards Centre is part of a national network of hazards centres and other health and safety groups, the Hazards Campaign, which campaigns nationally for safer workplaces.
