Russ passed away at his home Tuesday. Laurel will continue to share his message with workers. We're sharing his message in honor of a true worker safety champion.

Russ Youngstrom dedicated the last 30 years of his life promoting workplace safety from a wheelchair. With his wife, Laurel, by his side Russ told his story to thousands of workers across the country about the day he unhooked his safety gear before falling from a scaffolding.

Our outreach team joined the Health & Wellness Fair in #SeaTac to share resources on worker rights in #Chinese and #Korean.
