The
UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health (UCLA-LOSH) Program is a nationally recognized
center in Southern California for Spanish and English worker training, educational
materials development, technical assistance and policy information in the area of
workplace health and safety. LOSH is part of UCLA’s Institute for Research on Labor
and Employment within the College of Letters and Science and the Center
for Occupational and Environmental Health within the school of Public Health.
With a multi-ethnic, bilingual staff which includes health educators and clerical
support, the LOSH Program trains hundreds of workers yearly. In order to maximize
impact with the resources available, the LOSH training model emphasizes a train-the-trainer
approach that prepares workers to go back to the workplace and train others. |
