- Upcoming Milestones
OSHA and the NDE – IMES Education Specialist are currently working on a survey,
to be disseminated to all Career Education faculty throughout the State of
Nebraska, to examine the current state of occupational safety and health
education being provided by these faculty. It appears that a wide range of
curriculum are being utilized, from on-line 10-Hour OSHA Outreach courses, to
face-to-face OSHA Outreach training, to general presentation of safety and
health materials. This survey will attempt to qualify what is being provided and
quantify the number of students receiving this education.
