Question:
How is Susan Harwood training different than the training typically offered by OSHA On-Site Consultation, OSHA State Plans, and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers?
Answer:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program Targeted Topic Training provides training to workers and employers on recognizing and preventing workplace hazards, focusing on small employers in high-hazard industries, industries with high fatality rates, and workers who encounter barriers to occupational safety and health training. In contrast, OSHA On-Site Consultation, State Plans, and the OTI Education Centers typically provide more standardized training, often target a broader audience, and primarily focus on compliance assistance and traditional occupational safety and education.
