Timber Products Manufacturers

Timber Products Manufacturers, registered in SAM.gov since 2009 and located in Spokane, Washington, is a non-profit organization primarily focused on occupational safety and health training within the timber products manufacturing industry. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization specializes in developing and delivering targeted safety training programs for workers, with a particular emphasis on supporting hard-to-reach and vulnerable employee populations. The organization is dedicated to improving workplace safety through comprehensive educational initiatives that address critical safety challenges in high-risk industrial environments.

Through a series of Susan Harwood Training Grants from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Timber Products Manufacturers has consistently received federal grant awards to provide free safety and health training programs. Their grant work focuses on creating targeted training materials and conducting both in-person and virtual training sessions that address workplace hazards, with a specific concentration on lockout/tagout procedures and safety awareness. The grants, which have totaled over $650,000 since 2019, are designed to support young, temporary, minority, low literacy, and limited-English speaking employees in the timber products manufacturing sector. Each grant typically involves developing comprehensive training materials, delivering safety education, and administering pre- and post-training assessments to measure knowledge gains. The organization's primary goal is to increase worker safety, enhance job quality, and inform workers about their rights and employers about their responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
