The city is a little safer with the establishment of our Academy for Occupational Health and Construction Safety facility at City Tech. Since 2006, we have enabled construction workers and other professionals to obtain hands-on safety training with proper equipment and full-sized scaffolding.
The College has collaborated on this training facility with American Safety Consultants, LLC, a division of AON, which "promotes Mayor Bloomberg's initiatives for construction safety," according to Carol Sonnenblick, dean of City Tech's Division of Continuing Education.
Academy courses are offered in a state-of-the-art lecture-lab that raises the bar on workforce training. Safety-compliance training is mandated by the Office of Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the New York City Department of Buildings or various other authorities before working with certain equipment and/or moving into such job titles as construction super or site safety manager.
We can also send our expertise to off-site facilities and can interpret private lessons into: Spanish, Polish, Russian, and additional languages upon request.
