NYCOSH is one of the preeminent providers of worker safety and health training in the New York metropolitan area and beyond. Each year, we train thousands of workers on a wide range of safety and health topics – from ergonomics to workplace violence to OSHA 10-, 30-hour and Site Safety Training courses. Our expert staff includes an Industrial Hygienist, experienced Safety and Health Specialists who are OSHA-authorized and have advanced degrees in public health, and communications and policy experts.
The Education and Training Program is a key component of building workers’ knowledge and power on the job. NYCOSH develops participatory, active trainings where workers of all ages, literacy levels and industries come together to identify hazards, develop solutions, and organize to change their conditions.
Topics include: youth safety, workplace violence, chemical hazards, infectious disease, excavations, fall protection, sexual harassment, know your rights, building health and safety committees, and many others.
Training is made available in various ways. Most programs are arranged through unions, community organizations, and New York area labor councils and build upon the training that these organizations may already offer.
Many of NYCOSH’s trainings and industrial hygiene services are funded by federal and state grants and are available to participants free or at a nominal cost. Other trainings and industrial hygiene services are available on a low-cost, fee-for-service basis.
