OSHA awards $10.5 million in workplace safety and health training grants

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has awarded $10.5 million in one-year federal safety and health training grants to 80 nonprofit organizations across the nation for education and training programs to help high-risk workers and their employers recognize serious workplace hazards, implement injury-prevention measures, and understand their rights and responsibilities.

The department’s Susan Harwood Training Grant Program funds grants to nonprofit organizations, including community- and faith-based groups, employer associations, labor unions, joint labor and management associations, colleges, and universities. Target trainees include small-business employers and underserved, vulnerable workers in high-hazard industries.

The fiscal year 2015 award categories are capacity-building developmental, capacity-building pilot, targeted topic training, and training and educational materials development.
