• Description:
  This NORA sector research program addresses the needs of wholesale and retail trade (WRT) for a safe future. This bulletin contains information about: 1. NIOSH Youth@Work: Talking Safety - The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), together with its partners and stakeholders, developed the Youth@Work: Talking Safety curriculum to equip young people with the vital work readiness competencies they need to stay safe and healthy on the job now - and throughout their lives. The free, online curriculum can be used in a classroom or other group training setting. The curriculum contains fact sheets, interactive classroom activities, handouts, and games designed to raise awareness about young worker safety and health. 2. NIOSH Release: Mobile Friendly eDoc - NIOSH is excited to announce a new digital publication product called the NIOSH eDoc. This product will present workplace safety and health information in a way that is accessible and easy to use on any mobile device, desktop, or laptop computer. We heard from our wholesale and retail trade sector members that a mobile friendly format is needed. We hope that this new product meets that need. 3. Emerging Issues: Warehouse Safety Partnership - The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and warehouse industry representatives signed an agreement in 2003 as part of the Warehousing and Materials Logistics Partnership. OSHA and Manpower Group (temporary work agency) discussed safety standards, temporary worker rights and safety. They are working cooperatively to find solutions to issues, and prevent workplace tragedies. Proper training is one of their key points. [Description provided by NIOSH]
