OSHA
Grant
In
the fall of 2000, the State Building and Construction Trades
Council of California, AFL-CIO (SBCTC) received a Susan Harwood
Training Grant from federal OSHA to create a "train the
trainer" course on construction safety and translate it
into Spanish. The
course focuses on the prevention of ergonomic injuries and construction
fatalities. SBCTC and LOHP staff have been training labor and
management representatives and apprenticeship instructors, who
then conduct classes for workers.
Tailgate
Training Curriculum
 
LOHP has produced a curriculum on construction safety, Tailgate
Training for California Construction Workers, which is available
in both English and Spanish.
The
book can help construction foremen and other trainers conduct effective
safety training sessions on the job. It includes detailed Training
Guides on 14 construction safety topics. There are also 14 matching
Checklists on related Cal/OSHA regulations. For some topics,
Case Studies (based on actual injuries and accidents) and
Factsheets are also provided.
Both
the English and Spanish editions of Tailgate Training for California
Construction Workers are available for sale through our catalog.
See the full description in the LOHP
Bookshop section. The Training Guides, Checklists,
and Case Studies can also be read online in either language.

Earlier
Work in Construction
In
1994, LOHP worked with labor and management groups to develop our
original 320-page construction safety curriculum, Tailgate Meetings
That Work! The book was produced and pilot tested through a
collaborative project involving LOHP, the State Building and Construction
Trades Council of California, AFL-CIO, and Associated General Contractors
of California.
