2 In working with the T2 Center staff since 1995, many invaluable training programs have been developed and presented to our local road and state highway personnel to address the most hazardous workplace conditions. As a result, our public sector fatality rate has been in steady decline. ~ ConnOSHA Congratulations Graduates From the T2 STAFF Your training programs provide excellent, affordable courses for all of us in the public works field. Your Road Master program has allowed me to bring critical knowledge back to the projects we do everyday. With the budgetary pressures we all face, establishing best practices is a must. ~ Town of New Milford Donna Shea, Program Director (860) shea@engr.uconn.edu The specific training and safety awareness programs provided by the Technology Transfer Center staff have been beneficial in reducing our accidents and workplace injury incidents tremendously. Without the center, I am confident local agencies would be seeking additional funding to help cover increasing insurance premiums. ~ Town of Monroe Mary McCarthy, Training Specialist (860) mary@engr.uconn.edu Shelly Desjardin, Program Assistant (860) shelly@engr.uconn.edu Carolyn Ward, Financial Assistant (860) ward@engr.uconn.edu T2 Center Main Office (860)
