Susan Moir (Susan_Moir@uml.edu) at UMass/Lowell works specifically on health & safety training in the construction industry and puts out a regular (quarterly??) newsletter. I'm sure she's got materials about related curricula. You can also contact the painter's union (District 35), who are also doing some of this work in Massachusetts. They can be reached at (617) 522-0520. You might also bring your question to the nifl-workplace discussion list. Andy Nash NELRC/World Education anash@worlded.org >>> joyevans.mail@virgin.net 06/10/03 01:55PM >>> Dear All I am involved in an action research project which is exploring the best way of "embedding basic skills" into the construction industry. I am interested in any research/practice that you are aware of that focuses on teaching basic skills within construciton courses or that looks at ways of delivering basic skills onsite to construction industry employees. The project is particularly interested in those workers who are over 25 years old. Have any of worked with construction industry employees or researched into this? Thank you for your help.
