Warren, Markey, Capuano, Announce $150,082 OSHA Grant to the National Council on Occupational Safety and Health
October 12, 2017
Washington, DC - U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey, and Congressman Michael E. Capuano, announced today that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has awarded three Massachusetts non-profit organizations over $425,000 as part of the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program. The funds will help educate and train workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces, and inform workers of their rights and employers of their responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
"Thirteen workers die every day from workplace injuries and Hispanic and Latino workers in the construction industry are especially at risk," said Senator Warren. "These grants will go a long way toward giving workers life-saving training and improving safety conditions in hazardous workplaces across Massachusetts."
