Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2009

The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program provides funds for programs to train workers and employers to recognize, avoid, and prevent safety and health hazards in their workplaces. The program emphasizes four areas 1) Educating workers and employers in small businesses. For purposes of this grant program, a small business is one with 250 or fewer employees; 2) Training workers and employers about new OSHA standards; 3) Training at-risk worker and employer populations; and 4) Training workers and employers about high risk activities or hazards identified by OSHA through the Department of Labor’s Strategic Plan, or as part of an OSHA special emphasis program.
