Senate Assistant Majority Leader and Rules Chairman Mark C. Montigny is pleased to announce that the City of New Bedford has been named a recipient of an Executive Office of Labor Workforce Development Industrial Accidents Workplace Safety Training Grant.
The $12,358 grant will be used to train 76 workers in Workplace Safety by June of 2018. The training will focus on safety in confined spaces and the risks associated with them. Additionally, there will be OSHA 30 training, where workers would take multi day classes hosted by an OSHA-authorized Outreach Trainer.
“No family should have to lose a loved one to a preventable accident,” said Senator Montigny. “With this training, we can reduce the number of workplace injuries and fatalities, and keep the citizens of New Bedford safe in their workplaces.”
