III. Results

In order to meet a requirement of training the Hispanic Community on safety and health in construction and general industry and at the request of the local Veteran’s Administration, SBA contacted the local DOL/OSHA in order to form the alliance to promote each other’s programs and services. SBA responded by setting up training sessions for the Hispanic Initiative and coordinating with Texas Education Extension Service (TEEX) to promote the training sessions. As a result, several training sessions were held in order to promote “Train the Trainer” courses as well as the 30 hour and 10 hour Safety and Health classes for construction workers.
