OSHA Authorized Training:  
10 and 30 hour General Industry Awareness programs train workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in  general industry workplaces. The program also provides information regarding workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint. The 10-hour class offers workers awareness of common job-related safety and health hazards, while the 30-hour class is appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility. Through this training, OSHA helps to ensure that workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights, and contribute to our nation's productivity.

ASSP's Women in Safety Excellence (WISE) Common Interest Group advances ASSP members and the safety profession through education, mentorship, networking, collaboration, research and innovation.
​
In 2018, our Southern Oregon WISE chapter, with the assistance of Southern Oregon ASSP and Rogue Valley SHRM organizations, provided quality safety training and materials to the Women in Trades pre-apprentice cohort program in Grants Pass and Medford, a partnership with WorkSource Rogue Valley. Each WISE member taught classes related to safety like LOTO, Machine Guarding, Fall Protection, Hazard Communication Aligned with GHS, PPE rules, Safety Committee Operations, Forklift Case Studies/Awareness and Walking-Working Surfaces.

In 2019 WISE met quarterly to plan programs, mixers, or other events happening throughout the year. The first activity WISE participated in this year was the Careers in Gear event on February 7, 2019 at Central High School.

If you are interested in joining WISE and becoming part of an evolving safety group in our local community, please reach out to Loria Holden by filling out the "Contact Us" form at the bottom of this page.

Oregon Young Employee Safety (OYes) Video Content

Picture
The Southern Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals (SOASSP) is helping to sponsor this year’s OYes High School Video Competition. This video contest is designed to increase teen on-the-job safety awareness by inspiring young workers to do at least one thing differently to stay safe
on the job. Cash Prizes include $500 for first prize, $400 for second and $300 for third. High school students across the state created 90-second videos that were submitted in early February. We look forward to seeing this year’s finalists. SOASSP is delighted to support this important project.

Careers in Gear

Southern Oregon ASSP participated in the 9th Annual Careers in Gear event at the Medford School District Education Center. Over 2,000 local high school students attended this career event to learn about the types of businesses and career paths available in Southern Oregon. The Southern Oregon Chapter of ASSP staffed a booth to discuss Safety as a career path. Many high school students stopped by to find out what safety was all about and how it might apply to their future careers. Women in Safety Excellence (WISE) information was discussed with the high school students, including how joining an industry related organization, like ASSP or WISE, could help further their careers with networking and professional skills development. Thank you to the S.O. ASSP and WISE members who donated their time for this special event!

Toys for Tots

ASSP Southern OR Chapter has participated in the Toys for Tots holiday campaign for the past two years. Toys for Tots was established in 1948 by the Marine Corp. Over the years, the Toys for Tots program has distributed more than 351 million toys to needy children. We are delighted to support such a wonderful program.
