- Description
- Since 1987, the Worker Education and Training Program has been a major national force for developing effective occupational safety and health training. The program has generated guidance on training hazardous waste workers under OSHA’s 1910.120 Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard, on using advanced training technologies to train workers, and on training workers exposed to mold. These guidance documents advocate peer training of workers and good use of adult learning techniques. Kulinowski K, Lippy B. Training workers on risks of nanotechnology.
