Course Description
Are OSHA violation and workplace safety issues costing your organization?According to the United States Department of Labor, businesses spend $170 billion a year on costs associated with work-related injuries and illnesses. This can contribute to decreased employee morale, reduced productivity, and higher on-the-job stress, while leading to increased workers' comp claims, higher insurance premiums, retraining costs, absenteeism, and lower-quality products and services.Workers whose employers take steps to protect their health, fitness, and safety on the job are more likely to report job satisfaction, enjoy a higher quality of life, contribute a more optimistic, enthusiastic outlook, and interact positively with peers and superiors.This Virtual Instructor-Led Training was created to support OSHA safety initiatives, enhance OSHA compliance, and protect employee health and safetyThis 30-hour course represents excellence in OSHA training. Over 5 days, your trainer will thoroughly explore hazard identification, prevention, and mitigation, as well as OSHA's complex standards, criteria, and requirements, delivering information that is easy to grasp. As a result, you'll comprehend more, remember more, and be better-equipped to apply what you've learned once you've returned to the workplace. Creating your own safety training and support programs, identifying and eliminating hazards and unhealthy situations, promoting a company-wide culture of safety — everything becomes easier when you are not overwhelmed by too much information in a short time frame. This course is interactive, well-balanced, interesting, and most of all — effective.Protect your employees from on-the-job hazards, and your organization from costly fines and penaltiesThis training will give you the practical, hands-on experience you need to pinpoint hidden or overlooked safety and health issues, address them, and become fully compliant with OSHA's general industry standards. Your organization will benefit financially as workers become more productive while less time is lost to injury and illness. The likelihood of hefty penalties and fines levied against you for non-compliance will lessen as well. Agenda
