FREE SEMINAR!
Since 1989 OSHA’s guidelines for safety and health program management have been voluntary. Because of the reduction in injuries and illnesses where effective plans are in place, having a safety system with written documentation may move into compulsory by Federal OSHA. This seminar discusses some of the key elements of safety and health management systems, touching on areas pertinent to the wood industry such as machine guards, and provides resource references for workplace safety systems. It introduces OSHA’s Field Operations Manual and the evaluation of employer safety systems as they relate to penalties, as well as points out benefits of having an effective system. The information provided will raise attendee awareness of the attributes of a safety system, of OSHA inspections and potential penalties, and of the advantages of a system as it relates to employer profits. This seminar is free and open to all but registration is required.
