Spending three long days at the Hayward Day Labor Center, Fernando, Armando, and Carlos eagerly listened to the instructors, learning all they could about job safety and health so that they could become certified to become teachers themselves.

Daily the workers encounter challenging weather and dangerous work conditions at their jobs. The knowledge and training that these certified specialists received at the course will prepare the workers and help them to prevent health issues and injuries in the future. At the same time, these members of the Day Labor program are stepping up as leaders in their community, taking responsibility of educating, informing and empowering their peers so that all of them can step into a brighter future.
Beginning next year, these certified specialists will hold regular workshops for the other Day Labor members on the various topics covered – OSHA, workers compensation, MSDS, hazardous chemicals and more.
Capacitación y Educación del Trabajador en Salud y Seguridad
Pasaron tres días largos al centro laboral de Hayward. Fernando, Armando y Carlos prestaron atención a los instructores, aprendiendo todo sobre seguridad del trabajo para que pudieran certificarse como instructores también.
Fernando recibio su certificacion. |
Los miembros del programa de Day Labor trabajan constantemente en condiciones desafiantes y a veces peligrosas. Por esta razón ellos tanto como el Centro Michael Chávez apoyaron el entrenamiento. Con este conocimiento se puede educar y comunicar a la comunidad y a los miembros a cuidarse y protegerse en el trabajo.
