The Occupational Safety & Health Administration awarded approximately $8 million in Susan Harwood Training Grants to 53 nonprofit organizations to administer safety and health training programs.
“Education and training are the cornerstones of reducing workplace injuries and illnesses,” said Secretary of Labor Alexis M. Herman. “These grants provide valuable tools to protect America’s workers and promote a greater understanding of ways to avoid occupational risks.”
The Harwood grants go to organizations that propose to educate workers and employers in small businesses; train workers and employers about new OSHA standards; or teach workers and employees about high-risk activities or hazards either identified in OSHA’s strategic plan or as part of an OSHA special emphasis program.
