About 5,000 construction union trainers nationwide have completed the OSHA 500 instructor course on construction safety and health regulations. These trainers, who have extensive experience in construction, provide OSHA 10- and 30-hour construction hazard awareness training to workers. Other construction-related courses cover a wide range of safety and health topics, including confined space entry and trenching and excavation, depending on the needs of local industry. For more information on construction union instructor training, contact Chris Trahan, ctrahan@cpwr.com. For OSHA outreach trainer questions, contact Janice Wheeler, jwheeler@cpwr.com.
The National Resource Center (NRC), is a U.S. Department of Labor OSHA Training Institute Education Center. NRC trains safety and health professionals and workers in OSHA Region 3 (Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia), and trains union instructors and members nationally. NRC partners include the Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, as represented by CPWR; the Safety and Health Extension of West Virginia University; and the National Labor College George Meany Center.
