Partnership to provide biohazard clean-up training
The U.S. Department of Labor has entered into a new training partnership with the Laborers International Union to develop an anthrax/biohazard training curriculum. A grant totaling $208,650 from the Labor Department's Employment and Training Administration was awarded to the Laborers as a first step in this partnership.
Course material will be developed and tested jointly by OSHA, the Laborers and other appropriate government entities. This partnership was prompted by the recent anthrax outbreaks across the country.
