Site & Safety Training Trainer; On Call, Temporary

Worker’s Justice Project (WJP) www.workers justice.org was founded in 2010 to address the racial and economic injustices that low-wage immigrant workers face in New York City by building collective power to win institutional change. WJP runs two long-standing worker’s centers in Brooklyn. We promote justice and opportunity for low-wage immigrant workers in New York City by pushing for systematic enforcement and expansion of workplace protections, which include labor and occupational health and safety standards while advocating for industry-specific efforts to improve working conditions.

WJP also offers skills-building training to workers in health & safety and industry-specific areas, and we educate immigrant communities about their rights in the workplace and how to exercise those rights.

WJP is a fiscally sponsored project of TSNE (www.tsne.org).

The Site & Safety Training (SST) Trainer will develop and conduct 10 hours SST and 8 hours Refresher Health and Safety Trainings in English and Spanish in New York City for construction workers and other low-wage workers. These trainings are part of the Worker’s Justice Project’s programs and services for immigrant workers and day laborers.

The On-Call SST Trainer will work alongside WJP’s Construction Workers United (CWU) team, which works to strengthen and expand WJP’s membership, to win concrete, transformative workplace campaign victories, build a culture of safety in the workplace and contribute to long-term movement building in New York City and beyond.

This is an on-call position that reports to the CWU Director.
