Summer OSHA Training

Thanks to the organizing work of Elias Garcia and the training provided by Stuart Sydenstricker, 17 workers were able to complete training and earn certificates this summer. Both the training and the certificates are very important. Because of what they learn in training, the workers are able to protect themselves from injury on the job, and know that they can refuse to do work that is dangerous and for which the employer does not provide adequate safeguards. Workers can also present the certificates to future employers, letting the employers know they are aware of the law on Occupational Safety and Health and dangerous working conditions.
