DOL Awards More Than $10 Million in Safety and Health Training Grants

Fifty-seven nonprofit organizations are on tap to share some $10 million in grants for safety and health training and educational programs announced by OSHA, Sept. 29. Grants totaling $6.9 million were awarded under the Targeted Topic Training Grants (e.g., construction and general industry hazards, disaster response and recovery, hexavalent chromium, and workplace emergency planning). Approximately $3.3 million was used to fund renewal grants for recipients of last year's Institutional Competency Building Grants.
