Border Health and Safety Training Project |
UCLA-LOSH
collaborates with several organizations to implement the Border
Health and Safety Training Project for workers in the maquiladoras
(assembly plants found generally south of the border from
Tijuana to Tamaulipas).
We provide regional train-the-trainer classes for workers and their organizations
from the U.S./Mexico Border States. The objective of these
train-the-trainers is to foster workplace health and safety
training along the border. The training methods utilize
popular education techniques.
Because of the rapid industrial growth in the border region, the infrastructure
is not present to provide adequate health services, much
less health and safety training.
Persons or organizations interested in learning more about the training provided by
UCLA-LOSH should call: (310) 794-5964.
