Safety & Health Training Set for September in Atlanta, Phoenix

Building on the success of a joint occupational safety and health conference in May, CWA and the Steelworkers are offering two more regional opportunities this year for union activists to get safety and health training.

Conferences will be held in September in Atlanta and Phoenix. Both events include two days of sessions on such topics as union health and safety committees, industrial hygiene, and labor and the environment. Those sessions will be followed by a four-day program for activists who want OSHA trainer certification.

The Georgia conference begins Sept. 11 at the Atlanta Hyatt Hotel. The Arizona conference begins Sept. 25 at the Wyndham Phoenix Hotel. Click the links (PDFs) for registration, hotel costs and other details.

To redouble efforts to protect members against workplace and environmental hazards, CWA and the Steelworkers began partnering 2 ½ years ago on occupational safety and health training and education. Click here for CWA's safety and health webpage.
