III. Events and Products Training and Education
This Alliance continues to have a significant impact on improving the safety and health of not only the students and faculty of LCTI, but also enhancing the safety knowledge of members of the school’s Occupational Advisory Committee. The school inspections have identified almost 100 safety and health issues that are currently being addressed to improve S/H. Additionally, the items being found are being utilized as part of the school’s improvement plan, during the complete renovation process that is currently being conducted.
V. Upcoming Milestones The school’s Administration is planning on institutionalizing the OSHA 10 and/or 30 hour construction training courses as part of their core curriculum to enhance the safety and health knowledge of the students prior to the job market. Additionally, the Occupational Advisory Committee is discussing different means to positively reinforce the lack of hazardous conditions found within the different labs/classrooms. Student involvement continues to grow, as some Instructors have delegated a student safety representative to not only inspect the area, but also to accompany the committee during its audits. It is strongly recommended that this Alliance continue to aid in assisting the school in improving not only its physical safety and health condition, but also the safety and health knowledge of the students, instructors, teachers, aids, and other staffers. |
