Manufacturing Workers 1. Training Workshops Two two-hour workshops are planned with an expected atten- dance of twenty at each. Each workshop will follow a participa- tory model, emphasizing hands-on practice, small group activities and the use of audio-visual aids. They will take place at the Cortland American Legion Hall, a site we have used in the past. Using the media, Union communication channels and other means, MCLC Narrative 3 ===== Page 7 (photo 97 of 200) ===== participants will be drawn from both unionized and non-unionized manufacturing plants in the Cortland area. Each workshop will cover a different subject area, with health hazards of coolants, forklift safety, and ergonomics being already identified as priority issues, from which to choose. Each workshop will train workers to identify workplace hazards and unsafe behavior, and to use regulatory or other approaches to eliminate the hazards. In addition to our own training staff, we will utilize assistance from CNYOHCC and the UAW Health and Safety Department. The unions representing workers in manufacturing in Cortland will provide in-kind services and outreach to their members; we will coordinate outreach to other manufacturing worksites. 2. Chemical Hazard Substitution Working with UAW 1326 we will produce and disseminate a 40- page manual for manufacturing workers, providing a step-by-step guide on researching and providing alternatives to hazardous chemicals (chemical hazard SUbsStueutaron) = A considerable part of the research for this project has already been done on an in-kind basis by Karen Schlanger of the University of North Carolina School of Public Health. Some additional technical assistance is needed to finalize the work, whereupon we will print and disseminate the manual to manufactur- ing unions and workers throughout the State. UAW 1326 will be responsible for printing and dissemination; MCLC will be respon- sible for finalizing the text and design of the manual. We will seek assistance from the UAW International and the NYS AFL-CIO for distribu one II. Nursing Home Workers 3. Back Injury Prevention We propose a program which specifically targets the extreme- ly high incidence of musculoskeletal injury among nurse aides. The first component of this program is a worksite analysis to identify specific workplace stressors or risk factors which are contributing to the high incidence of these injuries, and suggest appropriate controls. This analysis will be conducted by Joan Goldwyn, a licensed physical therapist with extensive experience working in health care settings, including nursing homes. Ms. Goldwyn has conducted some six similar worksite inspections as part of our ongoing back injury prevention program. This inspec- tion will form the basis of a short report with recommendations to the Union and management. The second component of this program is a one hour training MCLC Narrative 4 ===== Page 8 (photo 98 of 200) ===== clinic for employees to educate t tion of back injury, incl a hem about the causes and preven- : ,c-uding training in correct lifting : techniques. Four clinics are Planned, to take place at the Pel cceiatcineie ce eee and including about 30 nurse aides, While the recommendations for workplace change are a criti- cal element in an effective back injury prevention program, they will require a labor-management dialogue. We have found, howev- er, that the clinics alone have an impact on promoting safer work practices and habits. 4. Health and Safety Committee Development - Lakeside Nursing We propose a program of training and education aimed at establishing a workplace health and safety committee at Lakeside. Our objectives are to: * provide a twelve-hour health and safety rep training program for ten union members, who will form this committee; * establish a health and safety committee, hold at least six meetings, and begin planning further train- ing; * assist the health and safety committee to establish a productive relationship with management, so that needed programs and changes can be implemented; * provide technical assistance and support, as needed, to the committee. The health and safety rep training is the key component of this program. We propose six 2-hour sessions to take place at the facility, and emphasizing hands-on exercises, a participatory methodology and audio-visual aids. Training expertise and re- sources will be drawn from MCLC, CNY Occupational Health Clinical Center, and SEIU. The sessions will adhere to the following out- line: I. Introduction: The Health and Safety Rep II. Identifying and Evaluating Hazards III. Methods of Controlling Hazards IV. Getting Action: Dealing with Management V. Getting Action: Using OSHA MCLC Narrative 5 ===== Page 9 (photo 99 of 200) ===== VAI: Getting Action: The Health and Safety Committee Sea ihe a train workers about the methods of identifying and ota ing hazards, working with management to reduce hazards, and maintaining an ongoing and effective health and safety committee. III. Child Care Workers 5. Hazard Awareness for Workers One-hour training programs will be developed and presented on site at each of the three largest centers. Training will emphasize a participatory methodology, audiovisual aids, group discussion and hands-on exercises. Participants will be the staff at each of the target centers. Training expertise will be provided by MCLC health/safety training staff (hazard communica- tion), the Central NY Occupational Health Clinical Center (infec- tion control), and Joan Goldwyn, P.T. (back injury prevention) . Workers will be trained to identify the hazards in each area, as well as learning how to protect themselves. Two hours (2 mod - ules) of training will be provided at each Center. An outline of each training module follows. Hazard Communication: Toxic materials in the day care envi- ronment, their hazards, controlling these hazards, legal requirements. Infection Control: Airborne and bloodborne infections, con- trols, universal precautions. Back injury prevention: How the back works, causes of low back pain and back injury, proper lifting techniques. 6. Employer Trainin A half-day workshop will take place at the Day Care Council offices, and be primarily for 20 Center directors and supervi- sors. Training expertise will be provided by MCLC. Topics covered will include overview of health and safety issues in a day care environment; government safety regulations and require- ments for training and controls; bloodborne pathogens; hazard communication. A participatory methodology will be employed. 7. Indoor Air Problem Prevention Training This three-hour workshop will take place at Tompkins Cortland Community College. The Day Care Council will advertise and communicate the availability of this training to all day care employees and home care providers. The workshop will emphasize a MCLC Narrative 6 ===== Page 10 (photo 100 of 200) ===== participatory methodology hands-on exercises, Trainin staff and the Centra The following is an audiovisual aids, group discussion and + hy. g expertise will be provided by MCLC Occupational Health Clinical Center.

Health and Safety Newsletter for Office Workers We plan to produce and distribute four issues, 2,750 copies each, Of FYI: A Health and Safety Newsletter for Office Workers. About half of the total copies are mailed or distributed to non- union employees. It has proven to be extremely popular and a very valuable and cost effective way to get critical health and safety information to large numbers of workers, many of whom have no union representation. In this way we can reach much larger numbers of workers than we could with more traditional training programs. The main objective of FYI is to educate office employ- ees about work-related hazards, so they are better able to identify the hazards, the ways they can be controlled, and other sources of information and help. FYI is not only a unique source of easily accessible and usable health and safety information for office workers. It also allows groups of office workers in disparate workplaces to network among each other. The networking occurs not only because information on different workplaces is included in FYI, but also because it is produced through the collective effort of a number of office workers, working with MCLC staff. Staff and volunteers join to write and design each issue of FYI, using desktop pub- lishing software. Subject areas span the range of topics impacting on worker safety and health. Future topics include hazard communication requirements for office workers; VDTs and vision safety; build- ing-related illness; multiple chemical sensitivity and others. Office workers have no other source for the information provided in this newsletter. Because of its uniqueness and value, we will continue efforts to make FYI available to other unions, COSH groups, occupational health clinics and other organizations around the State that are interested in distribut- ing it to groups of office and clerical workers. MCLC Narrative 7 ===== Page 11 (photo 101 of 200) ===== suey Canals program was developed out of our six years Bees: t € working on office worker health and safety issues, and our close connection with member unions representing these workers. We now have a number of i ishi ears experience publishin this and other newsletters. f : x a 9. Indoor Air Problem Prevention Program We will provide indoor air quality workshops as needed for office workers. In addition we will provide technical assistance to these workers to help identify and reduce IAQ hazards in their work environments. The purpose of the workshops is to train employees about how they can better understand the problems they are experiencing and the ways of improving air quality. The half-day indoor air quality workshops will be modeled after one we conducted last year, and make use of our additional experience providing shorter presentations on thig~copre>=rne objectives of these training workshops are: * to provide participants with information on analyzing and remedying office air quality problems; * to give participants hands-on experience WiEeiPeOLeree HVAC systems; * to facilitate communication and problem-solving among the workforce at each site; * to support efforts to form health and safety committees and other mechanisms to provide more effective mecha- nisms for working with management to improve workplace health and safety conditions. Participants will be identified by the Unions and through publicity. Training will occur at worksite facilities which are readily available in each location. Hands-on exercises, a partic- ipatory methodology and audiovisual aids are the main ways that education and information will be disseminated to participants. We conduct this training "in-house," with assistance where necessary from the staff of the CNY Occupational Health Clinical Center in Syracuse. It may be possible, as in the past, to make this a joint project with the American Lung Association of Central NY. Workers have no alternative source for this training. In addition to the indoor air quality training workshops, we will provide technical assistance to the unions involved, to help them assess the problems, their causes and reasonable controls. This will provide critical and otherwise unavailable information not “only for tne workers but also for management. In the past, MCLC Narrative 8 ===== Page 12 (photo 102 of 200) ===== we Se tag ote technical staff from the Central NY Occupation- ee inical Center (industrial hygienist) to provide this assistance. He will conduct an inspection, air sampling if indicated (such as carbon dioxide measurements; more complex sampling is often not necessary in office air quality problem situations), provide a report with recommendations. v. School Employees 10. Health and Safety Newsletter for School Employees 1 The four counties served by our central labor council include about 15 unions representing approximately 3,500 K-12 school employees. There are, in addition, a large number of non- unionized day care center and other school employees within our jurisdiction. None of these school employees, whether union or otherwise, have a regular source of information and education on health and safety issues affecting themselves. This is our objective in publishing FYI: A Health and Safety Newsletter for School Employees. With assistance from a volunteer group of school employees, and using our extensive experience producing newsletters, we will produce three issues of a four-page quarterly health and safety newsletter for school employees. Working with the unions and county day care councils, we will distribute this to 5,000 school employees. Working with PTA. councils in the various school districts, we will seek also to distribute this newsletter to parents, a group that has a critical interest in school safety and health, with an estimated 500 parents receiving it. Most of the people getting this newsletter have very little information relating to school health and safety, so this wali] be a critical resource to them, and is the main objective in pub- lishing it. The newsletter, in addition, will serve to link school employees from all the districts and unions in our region, thus providing a health and safety network that is sure to provide important benefits in the future. We have already produced three issues of this health and safety newsletter (under our 1994-95 OSHTEP project). Topics covered include indoor air quality, workplace violence, art and craft hazards in the schools, carbon dioxide testing, pesticides, and the high rate of breast cancer among teachers. Future topics include: lab safety, radon, asbestos in schools, electromagnetic fields, safety issues for school bus drivers. Because MCLC already produces FYI, we have some infrastruc- ture in place: the necessary computer skills and equipment ; experience in writing, graphics and desktop publishing; contacts with printers; understanding about distribution; a clear idea of costs and time. We expect to liaise with the following for addi- MCLC Narrative 9 ===== Page 13 (photo 103 of 200) ===== BGcwronec, curcosa, for Safety in the Arts, NYSUT, CSEA, UFT, j ’ al and state PT. - ment of Education, CHIP, Healthy Schools metvorkana & pidge VI. Service and Maintenance Workers 11. Committee Development Technical Assistance will be provided to the ten-member UAW 2300 Health and Safety Committee and the three UAW 2300/Cornell ergonomics committees in the dining halls. This technical assistance will be in the form of ongoing assistance to the committees (all composed of full-time workers) to ensure their continued development and optimal functioning. 12. Training Workshops _ A series of four training workshops will be provided for varied workgroups among the 1,200 members of UAW 2300. Among the targeted workgroups are food service workers (ergonomics) , cashiers (ergonomics, stress), agricultural workers (machinery safety, pesticides), hotel chambermaids (workplace violence, chemicals), homeless shelter workers (air and blood borne dis ease), non-native English speaking workers (primarily southeast Asians). Fach workshop will be 2 hours and will utilize audiovisual aids, hands-on exercises and a participatory methodology. The following general outline will be adhered to: LT, Introduction TES Identification and discussion of common health and safety hazards affecting workgroup members III. In depth focus on one or two specific hazards Iv. Strategies and approaches to reduce or eliminate the hazards. In addition to our own staff, training expertise will be sought from the UAW Health and Safety Department (Detroit), CNYOHCC, NYCAP, CHIP and others, as needed. VII. Workers at Risk of Repetitive Strain Injury 13. Repetitive strain injury prevention program _, SUNY Workshops will be provided in conjunction with the SUNY- Cortland labor-management health and safety committee. Each workshop will run three hours, be held at a suitable location on campus, and include about 25 participants, all office, clerical, administrative and faculty employees who use vpTs for a signifi- cant part of their day. The workshops will emphasize a partici- MCLC Narrative 10 ===== Page 14 (photo 104 of 200) ===== patory methodology, audiovi on exercises.

Training facilities, equipment, refreshments and i ; outreach will be vi - ment and the unions as an in-kind Senter cekonie sci a st ga The objective of the work i shops is to train workers to be aware of the symptoms and risk factors involved in RSI, and the work practices and conditions th i : at best prevent its onset. Each workshop will adhere to the following bij table I. RSI Awareness - increase awareness of what RSI is,;,the symptoms of RSI, the physical limitations that RSI can cause and various types of RSI. II. Risk Factors - increase awareness of RSI risk factors, and of work practices that minimize RSI ea Skee iiT . Preventing RSI - the importance of early reporting of problems, making basic workstation and work practice chang- es, and the role of medical monitoring. IV. Conclusion. 14. RSI Prevention Program for Postal Workers We propose to conducting a 3-hour program to train postal workers represented by APWU 1151 to identify the risk factors in the Post Office contributing to RSI problems and the most effec- tive methods to control or reduce the risks. The workshop outline will be similar to that provided under Objective 15 (see above), and will also be based on a participatory methodology, including group discussion, audio-visual aids and hands-on exercises. The training will take place as part of one ef the Union’s regular monthly meetings (specially extended to 3 hours). Room, refreshments and outreach to the membership will be provid- ed as an in-kind contribution by APWU. Prior to the training we will conduct a 2-hour hazard assessment of the facility in collaboration with the Union and facility management. The purpose will be to identify risk factors in the workplace, provide a series of recommended controls to the Union and management, and to provide appropriate case material for the training program. Technical assistance for both the training and assessment will be drawn from CNYOHCC medical and industrial hygiene staff, complementing our own Trainers.

We have been conducting back injury prevention clinics for three years now, with over ten clinics conducted. We plan to continue contracting with a physical therapist, Joan Goldwyn, to carry out this activity. Ms. Goldwyn has proven to be an out- standing trainer whose programs are highly evaluated by partici- pants. We will provide these in 1996 on an as-needed basis. IX. General Workforce 16. Training Workshops We will hold three two-hour training workshops for the general workforce. Topics will be chosen from the following, or others that may be identified: Cadmium hazards and regulations Pesticide hazards Health effects of "low levels" of chemicals in the workplace The ADA: What workers need to know Workplace violence and what we can do How to inspect your workplace Reproductive hazards in the workplace Supporting HIV-positive workers - what unions and co- workers need to know Dealing with Workers Compensation Infectious Disease Prevention Ventilation System ABC’s Ergonomics Our target audience varies from workshop to workshop, but in each case the focus is on the general workforce, both unionized and non-unionized. We advertise the training as widely as possi- ble, using our mailing list, member unions, our publications and the local media. We expect 20 participants in each workshop for a total impact of 80 individuals. Workshops will be held at union meeting halls, university facilities, or our own meeting room. Outside assistance will be sought, as needed, from CNYOHCC, CHIP. local attorneys, or others. MCLC Narrative 12 ===== Page 16 (photo 106 of 200) ===== 17. Provide Access t : the General Wdrkeoras Health and Safety Information to Objectives 17-21 The methods we will use provid beyond our training workshops to e ac cess to health and safety information to the general Hee and health and safety committees are varied. They in- a) maintain, further develop and publicize our health and safety resource center; b) provide a information and referral service to individual workers and unions; c) through Health and Safety Bulletins, MCLC publications, other union newsletters, the local media, and publications targeting Minority groups, provide information on important health and safety concerns on a regular basis (in addition to our health and safety newsletters, discussed above, we send out occasional Bulletins to over 1,000 workers and MCLC publishes a bimonthly newspaper for 6,000 workers which carries a Health and Safety page in each issue) >. @hese periodic articles are an extremely cost-effective way to educate thousands of workers who read these publications about health and safety issues. We will initiate a program to identify and target publications directed at African- American, Latino and Asian-American communities for informa- tion and education on occupational safety and health. ad) commemorate Workers Memorial Day in a way that educates as many workers as possible about workplace health and safety hazards; : e) maintain effective liaison with labor, health, environmental and other groups, including CNYOHCC, CNYCOSH, Citizens Environmental Coalition (CEC), the state- wide MCS Task Force, NYCAP, CHIP. This serves to share resources and avoid costly duplication of education and training services. Evaluation We will evaluate contract performance by our success in meeting the specific training objectives or project outcomes specified in the contract, including providing hazard training for 40 manufacturing workers; back injury prevention training for 100 nursing home workers; hazard communication, infection control and back injury prevention training for 50 child care workers; indoor air quality problem prevention training for 20 child care providers; basic health and safety information for 20 day care MCLC Narrative 13 ===== Page 17 (photo 107 of 200) ===== center employers; hazard training for 80 service and ena a a workers represented by UAW 2300; RSI prevention training ax SUNY-Cortland employees; RSI prevention training for mes workers; hazard training workshops for 60 workers pace See ar general workforce; regular (quarterly) information ae eee on health/safety hazards for 2750 office workers (t eed Office); regular (3 issues) information and equcat zie health/safety hazards for 5500 school employees an eA iaatar se (through FYI-Schools) ; providing resource and Re ee = to 250 workers; providing training and helping ont eae aft health/safety committee for workers at Lakeside Nu MCLC Narrative 14 ===== Page 18 (photo 108 of 200) ===== STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF LA i BOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAM Ag Schedule II DETAIL BUDGET COST SUMMARY Midstate Central L i EXPENSE CATEGORIES TOTAL ADMINISTRATION | PARTICIPANT TRAINING SUPPORT | STAFF SALARIES From Detail Budget Page 1 : $62,743.11 2.

As of 1996 we will have 2.2 FTE all doing their own clerical work in an increasingly comput- erized age, but without access to our own computer or printer for health and safety. The equipment we have access to, at this point, is both shared with another organization as well as shared with the non-health/safety work of the Labor Coalition. For 1996, as we increase our staff time and activities for health and safety (the publication of the two FYI newsletters, in particu- lar, are computer and printer-intensive activities), as the existing shared equipment ages, as the existing printer provided in-kind to us proves incapable of handling some of the operations (mailing labels for FYI, for example) , and as the other claimants of this equipment increase their Own usage, the previous arrange- Ment is no longer tenable. The continued effectiveness of the health and safety training and education work funded under this grant requires that we be able to purchase a computer and printer as proposed in the draft contract.
