Description
This opportunity funds the development of new, classroom-quality occupational safety and health training and educational materials for workers and employers, particularly in small businesses. The program aims to improve workplace hazard recognition, prevention, and compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Grantees must develop materials on a specified OSHA topic and validate them through at least one instructor-led classroom training session. Materials should be original, fill an unmet training need, and be accessible to a broad audience. The program emphasizes training for high-hazard industries, workers facing barriers to training, and topics aligned with OSHA priorities.
