With less than a month away, the Association is gearing up for the 2025 regional Train-the-Trainer workshops! This year the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association along with Western Agricultural Processors Association, African American Farmers of California, California Citrus Mutual, California Fresh Fruit Association, Fresno County Farm Bureau, Nisei Farmers League and The Zenith are partnering to provide Aerial Lift Safety Train-the-Trainer. Beginning in March, the trainings will be covered in English and Spanish and will hold seven on site tractor safety workshops in the following areas: Fresno, Tulare, Wasco, Madera, Turlock, Woodland, and Chico. The Lockout/Tagout, Fall Protection and PPE safety topics will be covered via webinar. These workshops are for owners, managers, supervisors, safety personnel or those who are responsible for training. Each workshop attendee will be provided with a binder that includes the information needed for understanding the rules, regulations and conducting effective safety training. Each attendee will also receive a certificate of completion for those that participate in the full class.

In addition, the association will be conducting Hazard Communication, Workplace Violence Prevention, and Indoor & Outdoor Heat Illness Prevention webinars in the spring. Details will follow on those special events.

The cost per training is $65 per person for members and $85 for non-members. For information on registering for the workshops and/or webinars, please see flyer.
