Course: 30 Hours Video Instruction Prerequisites: None
Per OSHA, This “General Industry” compliance course is designed to present detailed information about how the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHAct) may/must be implemented in the workplace, not only to achieve OSHA compliance, but to achieve profitability and survivability in today’s cost-conscious environment. We will introduce attendees to the OSHA standards that govern General Industry, explain how to read and use the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs), and provide an overview of compliance programs and procedures that are required for the workplace. Topics covered are intended for all private sector personnel, and those public sector employers who utilize Federal OSHA standards as directed by state requirements.
Who Should Attend: Workers with some safety responsibility.
What They Will Learn: Information about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job-related hazards on a job site. The training covers a variety of general industry safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention, not OSHA standards.
