Project Grant 24F60SH000159

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awarded a $160,000 Project Grant under the Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants program (CFDA 17.502) to the Organization of Hispanic Contractors, doing business as the Regional Hispanic Contractors Association (RHCA), for the period of September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

The grant funding will enable RHCA, a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas, to develop and deliver targeted occupational safety and health training programs focused on preventing falls from heights, ladders, and scaffolds in the construction industry throughout Texas. The training will be provided in Spanish to reach minority, low-income, and at-risk construction workers who may not have access to such resources. By delivering these specialized training programs, RHCA aims to increase worker awareness of occupational hazards, inform workers of their rights, and educate employers on their responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, ultimately advancing workplace safety in the targeted region and worker population.
