Two Haverhill businesses and the regional transit authority were named Monday as recipients of state safety training grants and technical consultation.
Those selected under the new SafetyWorks Initiative to participate in training, education and other preventative measures were Runtal North America, awarded $7,800 to train 80 people; Broco Oil, $5,000 to train 42 workers; and MeVa Transit, $10,500 for 99 employees. SafetyWorks also features free technical consultation offered by the Department of Labor Standards for public and private sector employers. Statewide, an estimated 13,832 workers at 160 organizations will receive training under the Department of Industrial Accidents’ effort.
“These training grants help employers stay ahead of risks by equipping their teams with the skills to recognize hazards and prevent injuries,” said Maryann Falvey, Director of the Office of Safety.”
Public- and private-sector employers interested in the SafetyWorks Initiative may visit mass.gov/SafetyWorks to schedule a confidential consultation. Now a one-stop menu, employers can also visit SafetyWorks to apply for training grants of up to $25,000 through the Department of Industrial Accidents, as money allows.
