ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
Many immigrants and refugees work in strenuous, difficult occupations. NH COSH has lessons designed especially for immigrant workers with limited English ability.

We offer:

• presentations geared to student ability levels,
• English language skills related to workplace safety,
• oral, written, and small-group activities, and
• hands-on equipment and graphics.

Union Workers
Organized workers can take advantage of an extra layer of protection. Collective bargaining, grievance procedures, and job actions can be the strongest tools available to assure safe working conditions. 

NH COSH can tailor-make training for your local, whether your members need job-specific safety information, training on workers’ compensation, or information about how the local can fight for safer workplaces.

Adult Basic Education
Many low-literacy workers have hazardous, low-wage jobs.  NH COSH offers presentations on workplace safety and worker rights at no charge to Adult Basic Education and GED students. 

Indoor Air Quality
NH COSH has over ten year’s experience assisting public schools with indoor air quality (IAQ).  We helped the US EPA pioneer it’s “Tools for Schools” IAQ program in New Hampshire.

Workers’ Compensation
NH COSH offers presentations to teach workers about their rights under workers’ compensation.

 Why?  Every year, nearly 50,000 workers are hurt on the job in New Hampshire.  Although eligible for workers’ comp to pay medical bills and provide income while out of work, many workers do not actually receive these benefits.  Contact us for a workshop on workers’ compensation rights.

Hazardous Waste and Disaster Response Training
In collaboration with The New England Consortium (TNEC), NH COSH offers specialized training to workers who respond to hazardous waste emergencies, clean up hazardous waste sites, and respond to disasters. 

TNEC provides dynamic hands-on, participatory health and safety training. With simulated work tasks and mock incidents, students gain a better understanding of work site hazards and how to properly respond in an emergency situation.  In addition to open enrollment classes, TNEC can custom design trainings to address the specific client needs.
