2 INTRODUCTION The Tony Mazzocchi Center for Health, Safety and Environmental Education (TMC), established in 2005, is a project of the United Steelworkers, the Communications Workers of America and the Labor Institute. We can help assess your training needs and provide quality classes for your members and your employer. The long-term goal of the TMC is to prevent work-related injuries and illness by providing union based health, safety and environment training to local union officers, union health and safety activists, workers and their management counterparts. With the knowledge that they have gained from actively participating in the training, individuals will have the capability to return to the worksite and take part in meaningful participation, identifying hazards and bringing about corrective actions that create a safer work environment. Our training sessions are facilitated by our experienced worker-trainers using workercentered and Popular Adult Education teaching methods which utilize the participant s knowledge and experience in order to solve real-life problems. Our method centers around three significant yet distinct learning exchanges: worker to worker, worker to trainer and trainer to worker. This training method ensures that every individual, regardless of background, education or learning style, even those with limited English proficiency, benefits from the training and retains the key components. The TMC also provides training assessments. If you are unsure which programs are right for your local union or workplace, simply contact us and our staff members will assist you in selecting the right training programs for you, your members or your employer. These training sessions range from comprehensive to basic, week-long to day-long, and cover a variety of topics to provide the most relevant and up to date information. Our interactive training sessions can be conducted on site or at various locations. We offer training on a variety of health, safety and environment issues, and we want each participant to get the most out of the training. Therefore, we require a minimum class size of 15 people to ensure that the learning exchange is most beneficial to the workers in the training. Much of the funding for these training programs is provided by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health (NIEHS), NIH, the Department of Energy (DOE) and the OSHA Susan Harwood Program, while employers provide funding for many joint union-management training programs.

Understanding and Developing a Union Approach to Health and Safety Establishing and Strengthening Health and Safety Committees Confronting Blame-the-Worker Safety Programs: Ending or Preventing Behavior-Based Safety (including employer practices that discourage workers from reporting injuries/illnesses, behavioral observation programs and more) Identifying and Addressing Health and Safety Impacts of Work Restructuring and Workplace Change Continuous Bargaining Over Health and Safety: Developing Strategic Campaigns to Get Tough Health and Safety Problems Addressed Preventing Employer Fraud: Making Sure Injury and Illness Logs and Records (such as OSHA 300 Logs) are Truthful and Using Them to Find and Fix Hazards Involving Members in Hazard Identification (including body, hazard and life mapping, developing and conducting union health and safety surveys and more) and Hazard Control (using the Hierarchy of Controls) COURSE CATALOG 10

14 TOP The Triangle of Prevention (TOP) Program is based on a commitment by the union and management to work together to find and address the hazards, unsafe conditions and failed safety systems that cause injuries and illnesses in workplaces. Both parties agree that blaming workers for their injuries does not improve safety and health, but sweeps the evidence and underlying concerns under the rug. By entering into this program, TOP Site local union and management commit to providing the resources necessary to make the program successful. The TOP Program is a systems approach to health and safety that focuses on an incident investigation model. TOP employs a fact-based analysis designed to uncover hazards involved in an incident or near-miss and identify their underlying root causes. The controlling of those hazards lie in the union-management health and safety process model. This model promotes recommendations from the union to management, and management accepts the responsibility to implement the recommendations to correct unsafe conditions. The cost of the program is $15/site employee (hourly and salaried) the first year and $40/site employee thereafter. TOP Awareness Training Target Audience: REQUIRED initial training for all employees (hourly and salaried at any USW TOP site). 16 Course Description: This training introduces students to USW Systems of Safety and to the USW Triangle of Protection (TOP) Program.
