CSUDH to host 1st OSHA training center
California State University, Dominguez Hills, has been selected by the federal government to house one of eight new OSHA training institutes nationwide.
A university official said Tuesday that annual enrollment in the university's college's occupational safety classes - now 200 to 300 - should climb to more than 1,200 within five years.
Under the program, curriculum at the OSHA Training Institute Education Center will be certified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA.
The campus also is the only OSHA-certified learning center in Los Angeles County and one of three in Southern California. There are only 30 such centers nationwide, not including the eight new sites selected by the U.S. Department of Labor.
