Twenty-one Cumberland County High School students enrolled in Building Trades I recently completed the 10-hour OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Safety in Construction class.
“This class trains workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance and prevention of hazards in the workplace,” officials said in a press release. “After successful completion of the course, participants are awarded their OSHA cards, which are issued by the Department of Labor.”
According to the release, the training covers such topics as fall protection, personal protective equipment, electrical safety, excavation hazards and life-saving equipment.
Building Trades instructor David Sullivan said, “I am very proud of them.”
He added that students in his Energy and Power and Sustainability classes also completed training and received their OSHA cards.
