  The OSHA 10-hour construction training program for Hispanic workers includes various training modules on construction safety and health. They all have been designed based on a linguistic and culturally appropriateness criteria. Each training module includes a set of slides containing the technical presentation, a training manual for trainees, and a trainer’s guide. All our training materials include three basic components: • a description of the most dangerous tasks, • identification of the hazards associated with these hazardous tasks, and • recommended methods of controlling and reducing the identified hazards. An important component of the training program is an introductory 30-minutes lecture (Welcome Hispanic Worker!) that focuses on the following issues: ‘why is this training important’, ‘what are we going to learn’, and ‘how can we take advantage of the training and translate the knowledge acquired into our own daily work practices’. All participants in the training program must receive a training manual and various educational materials. Upon successful completion of the 10-hour course participants will receive an OSHA-10hour card, a document that is mandatory for employment in construction in various states including Massachusetts. WHO COULD BE THE TRAINERS? |
