LUDLs: Worker–trainers Making A Difference!
Promoting Health & Safetyeducation through worker-trainersVolume XIIINo. 3LUDLs:Worker–trainersMaking A Difference!Coordinator’s CornerBy Luis VazquezRecently, UAW LUDLs have been active across many grants received by the UAW,and in addition, a few have been active outside of our grants. This illustrates theversatility and skills of UAW’s LUDLs, and the strength of the LUDL program ingeneral. Last year, a number of LUDLs participated in a Fall Protection Train-theTrainer, with LUDLs then actively trying to recruit their own workplaces to utilizethe Fall Protection training. The Fall Protection TTT was supported by fundingfrom federal OSHA. LUDLs have helped to teach Bloodborne Pathogens andCommunicable Diseases training through grants provided by the State of Michigan(the CET program) for the past few years. This year, UAW is a recipient of a grantfrom federal OSHA, targeting the subject of Metal Working Fluids (MWF), and aTrain-the-Trainer program for this grant was held the week of February 8 – 11. Duringthe TTT, LUDLs helped hone down the draft curriculum, and worked on agendasfor 4-hour and 8-hour MWF training programs. Those LUDLs trained will onceagain try to recruit their own workplaces and those Local Unions within their regionsneeding assistance with Metal Working Fluids.The International Chemical Workers Union (ICWU), the Steelworkers (USWA),and UAW partnered together to apply for a US Department of Transportation grant, toteach DOT rules and regulations, and a Train-the-Trainer program will be scheduledfor sometime later in the spring or early summer. A few UAW LUDLs are certifiedOSHA instructors, and regularly present courses offered through the Great LakesRegional OTI (OSHA) Education Center at Eastern Michigan University. A few ofour bilingual LUDLs have been asked to participate in an upcoming Hispanic WorkerOccupational Safety and Health Conference being jointly sponsored by OSHA andNIEHS. This past November, LUDL Steve Mitchell participated in a workshop offeredduring the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting entitled “Researchby the Rank and File: The National Labor College H&S Program”.All of this activity says so much about what our LUDL program has been ableto accomplish in developing people to become leaders in the workers’ occupationalhealth movement. These activities inspire us to continue providing some of the bestHealth & Safety training available. Even in these lean times with resources stretchedto their limits, the UAW’s LUDL program is proving itself to be a valuable asset.March 2010CalendarQuestions?

Metalworking Fluids/Train the TrainerHeld at UAW/GM Training Center, DetroitBy Eric JohnsonUAW Local 475, Region 1CThe UAW Health and Safety Department was awarded a two year grant in MetalWorking Fluids. The grant runs from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2011and is funded with 248,643.A MWF/TTT was held in Detroit February 8th through the 11th. I was anxiousto learn more about MWFs and the effects they have on our bodies. I worked 12 yearswith MWFs and up until now, really didn’t know too much about them. I knew theyweren’t the greatest for you, but never gave much thought to the long term effects. Iknew certain workers would break out and get dermatitis, some worse than others. Inever did have a reaction to it.Since I didn’t get dermatitis, I figured why wear gloves? I’ve seen workers wear airmonitoring equipment but didn’t give it much thought because I didn’t get dermatitis.I was given a refractometer to check the coolant but didn’t check it too often becauseI didn’t get dermatitis.Through the week, sitting in class and trying to take in all the information, Irealized I should have listened and paid closer attention to my co-workers during those12 years of dealing with metalworking fluids. Just because I didn’t get dermatitis andanother worker did should have told me something. When I saw the air monitoringunits, it should have dawned on me that the fluids which we were working with areharmful. But, I couldn’t see it as I didn’t get dermatitis. When my eyes would becomeirritated from the fluids I would tolerate it because when I got out of work everythingwas better. When my car and clothes reeked of coolants, it should have t o l d m e“Something smells fishy.”I realize now that proper training and education wouldhave promoted a better awareness of MWFs for my fellowco-workers and myself in the facilit y in whichIworked, but it also may have prevented the death ofDavid Ferguson.Note: UAW member David Ferguson was diagnosedwith HP in 2001. Debilitated and without work, hetook his own life in 2006.Dennis O’Brien and SteveMitchell look on while SherryKraft uses an air velocitymeter to measure air flow.

Steve Mitchell Attends aPHABy Luis VazquezLUDL Steve Mitchell, UAWLocal 974, Region 4, went toPhiladelphia, PA in Novemberto attend the American PublicHea lt h A ssociation A nnua lMeeting and participate in aworkshop. The workshop wasentitled “Research by the Rankand File: The National LaborCollege H&S Program”. Stevedelivered a presentation called“What They Don’t Know MightKill Them: Why New MembersNeed to Know about HazardousMaterials and How This Information Might Save Their Lives”.Many NIEHS administratorsand grantees, including the UAW,are active members of the APHAOccupational Health Section.While at the meeting, Steve gotto meet many OccupationalSafety and Health professionalsand met the Deputy AssistantSecretary of Labor for OSHA,Jordan Barab, and the AssistantSecretary of Labor for OSHA,David Michaels.Here is the abstract of Steve’spresentation: The OccupationalSafety and Health Administration(OSHA) Hazardous Communication Standard (HCS) 29 CFR1910.1200 requires that information regarding hazards relatedto chemicals and substances used byworkers be shared with employees.The knowledge of hazardousmaterials would allow workers toprotect themselves from harmfulmaterials that could affect theirhealth. The purpose of this studywas to test the hypothesis that newemployees of a large manufacturingcompany in the Midwest werelargely unaware of their legal rightsas they apply to hazardous materialsinformation, their exposures tohazardous materials, and employeerights to chemical and exposureinformation.The subjects were 38 newemployees and members of UnitedAutomobile, Aerospace and Agricu lt u ra l Implement Workersof America (UAW) Local 974.The anonymous subjects werequeried using a paper and pencilquestionnaire completed at twodifferent new employee orientationsSteve Mitchell shakes hands with JordanBarab, Deputy Assistant Secretary forOccupational Safety and Health at OSHA.conducted at the union hall on a single day. All of theparticipants understood the importance of knowingthe signs and symptoms of exposure to the hazardousmaterials they worked with.However, 60% did not know what a MaterialSafety Data Sheet (MSDS) was and 75% did not knowhow to use the computer to access MSDS information.The results of the study suggest that the currentmethod of teaching new employees about hazardousexposures is inadequate.John Rupp Jr. Speaks to University of MichiganOccupational Health & Safety StudentsKatie King and Judy Daltuva had the honor of introducing John Rupp Jr.,Assistant Director,UAW Education/Health & Safety Department, as a speaker in the University of Michigan’sOccupational Health and Safety Series. Students in the class come from the disciplines ofpublic health and industrial and occupational engineering. John’s topic was “Case Studies:Serious and Fatal Incidents: Implications for Safety Engineering.” John had the students’attention from his first slide which stated, “16 workers die per day”. He told the group thatfrom 1973 – 2009 the UAW experienced 521 deaths of members, adding that skilled tradesare at greatest risk, with 43% of fatalities although only 15% of the UAW workforce.John focused on investigations of three UAW fatalities revealing factors in the incidentswhich were addressed in safety regulations and consensus safety standards. Many of thesefactors, if changed, would have significantly altered the outcome of the incidents. Johnstressed to the group that health and safety professionals must have a broad knowledge ofall regulations and both national and international consensus safety standards related to theoperations affecting the workforce they represent. The students appreciated the case studyformat, visuals, recommended resources and John’s interactive presentation style.John ended by asking the students to think about these words, “Knowing the rightthing to do can often be hard. Once you know the right thing to do, it’s hard not to do it”.And, he encouraged them to take action when they see an unsafe condition or situation,even if that action is simply to report this to someone who has the ability to follow-up andaddress the situation.Printed on recycled paperPage 3“Knowing the right thing todo can often be hard.

His name is Alex Robert and he weighed 7 lbs. 2 ozs. and was 19 ¾ inches long. Heis truly a blessing. I do plan on spending time with him and watching him grow.As I reflect on my career at the UAW, I realize that I have been blessed to have a jobthat can help people and make a difference in their lives. From my first days on staff inaccounting to my current position I have had the opportunity to work with a group ofwonderful people. They made it a joy to come to work each day. For the past couple of years,I have gotten to know many dedicated and caring union activists. I want to thank you foryour friendship and willingness to allow me to grow. As my career comes to a close at theUAW, I will have many memories with no regrets. I was able to do work on a job that Itruly enjoyed and work with a great group of people in the Education/Health& Safety dept. What more could a person ask for? Also, I got to know theLUDLs and the research staff at U of M who are another group of dedicatedpeople that have been a privilege to work with. It has been a remarkablejourney and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Take careand remember to carry on the fight.Ron Gettelfinger (left) with Fran and MartyMarty and the Wolverettes, Anne, Katie and JudyScenes from Marty’s retirement party, February 18, 2010.Marty and the Education/Health & Safety staffUAW 1981 printed in U.S.A.Page 6
