The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awarded $200,000 to the Department of Consumer & Business Services, Central Services Division on September 30, 2025, under the Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants program (CFDA 17.502). This 12-month block grant funds the delivery of in-person Focus Four training addressing falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in or caught-between hazards. The training will be provided to workers and employers in smaller cities across Oregon that lack regular access to occupational safety and health training opportunities. This targeted approach aligns with the Susan Harwood program's strategic priority of reaching underserved populations and small businesses facing barriers to occupational safety and health education.

The grant supports instructor-led training designed to help workers and employers in high-hazard industries recognize, avoid, and abate serious workplace hazards. As a state government entity with established expertise in workplace safety and occupational health initiatives, the awardee is positioned to deliver comprehensive training services across Oregon communities while maintaining compliance with federal record-keeping requirements through the grant's completion date of September 30, 2026.
