KSHN began a significant new initiative in 2017, the OSHA 10-Hour Training for Career and Technical Education, or OSHA 10-4 CTE.
What is it?
OSHA 10-4 CTE is a collaborative initiative between KSHN, the Kentucky Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE), and Eastern Kentucky University’s OSHA Training Institute Education Center (EKU-OTIEC). OSHA 10-4 CTE provides “OSHA Authorized Outreach Trainer” status to Kentucky secondary education instructors. The instructors then provide OSHA 10-Hour training at secondary schools across the state for career and technical education students in manufacturing and construction pathways.
Benefits
Students:
- Acquire an awareness of common safety and health hazards;
- Acquire the knowledge to identify, prevent, reduce, avoid, and abate job-related hazards;
- Enter the workforce with essential safety and health knowledge that will keep them, and co-workers, safer on the job; and
- Obtain an important credential before employment that is often required by employers.
A win-win for everyone - students, future employers, and society!
Impact
Since 2017, thirty-five (35) teachers received General Industry Outreach authorization and forty-three (43) teachers received Construction Industry Outreach authorization. To date:
That's 3,034 high school students trained and it continues to grow!
How to Help
