PESO: Easy-To-Use Training in English and Spanish

PESO is an easy-to-use, bilingual toolkit created by the Oregon OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Program to help employers deliver job safety training and reduce workplace injuries and illnesses.

The toolkit contains:

  • handouts for toolbox talks
  • training modules
  • overheads

All are in English and Spanish. The training program introduces important safety and health topics to workers who may have only limited knowledge of U.S. safety laws and rules.  Modules are designed to be taught in less than 60 minutes. The toolbox talk handouts are posted here on eLCOSH with links to the modules and overheads on the OR-OSHA website.

For more information, call OR-OSHA at 1 (800) 922-2689 or visit www.orosha.org.
