Project Grant 23F60SH000090

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awarded a $161,997 Susan Harwood Training Grant to the National Council for Occupational Safety & Health, a woman-owned non-profit organization, for the project period of September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The grant funding will support the development and delivery of occupational safety and health training and educational programs for workers and employers, particularly focused on recognizing, avoiding, and preventing workplace hazards. Key topics covered will include infectious disease prevention, hazard communication, fall protection, and industry-specific safety issues, with a focus on reaching underserved worker populations and high-hazard industries. As a sub-awardee under a prior grant, the National Council for Occupational Safety & Health partnered with the International Chemical Workers Union to jointly train over 5,000 workers and trainers on hazardous waste worker topics.
