Key Findings from Research: Effective Health and Safety Training in CTE Programs

• Description:
  Many workers enter the construction field outside of registered apprenticeship training programs. Because Career Technical Education (CTE) programs at community and technical colleges are one of the few places these new construction workers may receive training, they are a crucial opportunity for educating people new to a potentially dangerous field about occupational safety and health (OSH). CTE programs at the post-secondary level train approximately 78,000 students annually, and their graduates are more likely than apprentices to begin their careers in residential construction, where the small size of most firms means they are less likely to have strong safety programs. In the past, little has been published about what OSH training should look like for students in CTE programs. This study used a literature review, review of existing standards (including OSHA's 10-hour construction course), focus groups with subject matter experts, and an expert advisory group to identify core competencies and key elements needed to improve CTE students' preparation to stay safe on the job.
