Sixty-nine nonprofit organizations are the beneficiaries of more than $10.5 million in Susan Harwood Training Grants awarded Thursday by OSHA. The grants will provide opportunities to train and educate workers about job safety.
The grants, said Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao, are an important part of this Administration’s emphasis on compliance assistance. They support the development of training materials and the provision of safety programs to educate Hispanic and other non-English-speaking workers and employers in small businesses, as well as workers who are employed in high-hazard industries and industries with high fatality rates.
