The Occupational Safety and Health Education Program (OSHEP)

The Occupational Safety and Health Education Program (OSHEP) is dedicated to making workplaces and communities safer and more secure. It improves the quality of occupational safety and health training services to the State of New Jersey by accurately tailoring training programs to the needs of workers and employers, by generating new and innovative training methods, and by identifying best practices for disseminating information to workers. In addition, the program focuses on increasing workers’ security awareness as an integral part of its overall focus on safety and health training.

THE OSHEP PARTNERSHIP

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO and the Rutgers University John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, work together to make workplaces safer, and to enhance the skills of New Jersey’s workforce. Funded by a grant from the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, OSHEP partners with employers, local unions, and other organizations to create an active “culture of safety” in workplaces through innovative training and education.

For more information, please contact Komilla John, OSHEP Coordinator at (609) 989-8289.

OSHEP training is available at no cost to labor unions and businesses.
