FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cal State Dominguez Hills Named
OSHA Training Institute Education Center
(Carson,
CA) – California State University,
Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) has been named by the Occupational
Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) as an OSHA Training Institute
(OTI) Education Center. The University participated in
a competitive 50 state search and was chosen as one of
just eight new centers nationwide.
“We are extremely pleased that OSHA has selected our
University as an OTI Education Center for Region IX,” said
CSU Dominguez Hills President Mildred García. “The
designation is an acknowledgment of the quality occupational
safety and health training we have been offering for many
years. As an official OTI Education Center we look forward
to taking a leadership role in ensuring the region’s
employees are properly trained in workplace safety.”
The new center at CSUDH will be administered
by the College of Extended and International Education,
and will provide
training and education to improve employee safety and health
throughout OSHA’s Region IX, which includes California,
Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and the Pacific Territories. In addition,
CSUDH will provide online training as well as contract training
for organizations nationwide. For information regarding OSHA
courses currently available in Southern California as well
as online please visit www.csudh.edu/osha or call 877-464-4557.
The director of the new center, Scott MacKay, brings a wealth
of valuable experience to the post, having served as director
of the Region X OSHA Training Institute Northwest Education
Center from 1999 to 2006. Since joining CSUDH in 2006 Scott
has directed the College of Extended and International Education’s
extension programs including the certificate programs in
environmental & occupational health and safety, and safety
and security.
The new centers were selected through a national competition
announced last July. Applicant organizations were evaluated
based on occupational safety and health experience, continuing
education training background, classroom and laboratory availability,
and the ability to provide training throughout the region.
The OTI Education Centers program
was created in 1992 to complement the OSHA Training Institute
(OTI) in Arlington
Heights, Ill., which is OSHA’s premier training provider.
The OTI Education Centers provide training nationwide to
private sector and federal personnel from agencies outside
OSHA.
