  36th Annual Governor's Safety and Health Conference and Exposition
Picture
KSHN began a significant 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:

  • 1,410 high school students completed General Industry 10-Hour or 30-Hour training; and
  • 1,624 high school students completed Construction 10-Hour or 30-Hour training.

That's 3,034 high school students trained and it continues to grow!  

How to Help
This initiative is a very significant undertaking that has a substantial cost.  OCTE, KSHN, and EKU-OTIEC are committed to providing as much assistance as possible, but we need your help.  Your support is an opportunity to invest in tomorrow’s workforce today and make a difference in the well-being of a Kentucky high school student who will soon be entering the workforce!  You can contribute a general sponsorship or sponsor a particular school or instructor.  You can send your contribution by mail to:

     KSHN
     ATTN OSHA 10-4 CTE
     P.O. Box 4087
     Frankfort, KY 40602-4087.

You can also make a contribution during the conference registration process!

ALL funds donated for the OSHA 10-4 CTE initiative are used for that purpose and that purpose only.  Please indicate if your charitable donation is for a particular school or instructor.
