OSHA grants over $10 million to S&H training programs
OSHA has awarded $10.6 million to 61 nonprofit organizations for safety and health training programs as part of its Susan Harwood Training Grants. Grant monies were awarded for workers employed in high-risk activities or hazards and those affected by new or revised OSHA standards.
The grants target safety and health training programs in construction; bloodborne pathogens; ergonomics; electrical power generation, transmission and distribution; and hard-to-reach workers. The five training topics are based on injuries and illnesses in selected industries identified in the OSHA Strategic Plan.
