Free Workplace Safety Training

In Person or Remote Training Available On Working In Extreme Temperatures

[Central Valley, California] - Community Services Employment Training (CSET)   is pleased to announce a new program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor-Susan Harwood Training Grant. The Safety Training Outreach Program (STOP) has developed an educational presentation to address workplace hazards for employees working in extreme weather conditions. The “Working in Extreme Temperatures” course engages employers and workers from small businesses, especially high priority populations like high-hazard industries; temporary workers; minority workers; low-literacy workers; and workers and employers in new small businesses. 

“Illnesses related to extreme weather conditions have long been a major concern for those who work in varying weather conditions,” stated Raquel Roa, STOP Assistant Director. “We are so excited to offer this quality training at no cost to our community.”

The 2-hour course is available in person or via remote training on Zoom. Training begins with a brief overview of OSHA history, whistle-blower information, and employer and employee responsibilities on a job site. Training topics will cover the following: introduction to extreme weather, OSHA regulations/guidelines, hot/cold working environments, and working in the fog. A certificate will be provided upon successful completion of the course. Trainings are flexible and can be scheduled at times and dates that best suit employer schedules.

This free, online training is available through September 30, 2022. We proudly provide in person training for Tulare, Kings, Kern, and Fresno Counties, though remote training can be done from anywhere! This training is also available in Spanish.
