The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has
begun accepting applications for the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program for
the $3.5 million available in 2015. The program supports the creation of
in-person, hands-on training and educational programs and the development of
materials for workers and employers that meet certain criteria. These include
small businesses; industries with high injury, illness and fatality rates; and
vulnerable workers, who are underserved, have limited English proficiency or
are temporary workers. The grants will fund training and education for workers
and employers to help them identify and prevent workplace safety and health
hazards. "These grants... fund great programs with a truly noble goal,
which is to make sure that every workers gets home safe and healthy at the end
of the day," said Secretary Perez.
