🌱 This month, we conducted two disaster preparedness train-the-trainer sessions in partnership with Community Organizations Active in Disaster Training in Sonoma County @sonomacountycoad.

🌱We covered #HeatIllnessPrevention, #Wildfire and Air Quality Hazards and Workplace and Community Advocacy Skills. Our goal: to equip trusted messengers to protect and support their communities.

🌱 Este mes, llevamos a cabo dos sesiones de capacitación de formadores en preparación ante desastres con defensores comunitarios en el condado de Sonoma, en colaboración con la organización COAD (Organizaciones Comunitarias Activas en Situaciones de Desastre) del condado de Sonoma.

🌱 Abordamos la prevención de enfermedades causadas por el calor, los riesgos de incendios forestales y la calidad del aire, así como habilidades de defensa en el ámbito laboral y comunitario. Nuestro objetivo: dotando a los mensajeros de confianza de las herramientas necesarias para proteger y apoyar a sus comunidades.

Each May, LOHP coordinates the Safe Jobs for Youth

Each May, LOHP coordinates the Safe Jobs for Youth Month Campaign to raise awareness about protecting young workers on the job. As the summer job season approaches, many young people are entering the workforce for the very first time, likely without the information they need about their rights on the job, or how to stay safe at work.

At youngworkers.org, we have resources that can help. We have resources for young workers, parents, educators, and employers Learn more:

In April we trained a powerful group of leaders spearheading SEIU's Workers United Laundry Division’s regional health and safety committees. They are preparing to negotiate with the employers and to bring information to their coworkers about their rights and how to take action on key hazards they face like high heat, chemicals, and repetitive motions doing hard and heavy work. Industrial laundry workers are required to bend and reach to pull tangled heaps of heavy linens, use harsh chemicals, and push carts weighing hundreds of pounds, all in extremely hot indoor temperatures. @workersunited.west @seiuca #workersafety #workersrights

Hace un par de semanas, hicimos una una capacitación con un grupo de líderes poderosos a cargo de los comités regionales de salud y seguridad de la División de Lavandería de SEIU Workers United. Estos líderes se están preparando para negociar con sus empleadores y para dar información a sus compañeros de trabajo sobre sus derechos y qué hacer sobre riesgos que enfrentan como el calor extremo, los productos químicos y movimientos repetitivos haciendo trabajo pesado y difícil. os trabajadores de lavanderías industriales tienen que agacharse y estirarse para jalar montones enredados de ropa y s’abanas, productos químicos fuertes y empujar carritos que pesan cientos de libras; todo bajo temperaturas interiores extremadamente elevadas. @workersunited.west #seguridadlabora #derechosdelostrabajadores

All workers deserve to be safe at work. #SafeJobs
