Jan 24 - Jan 25    OSHA 10- Hour General Industry

OSHA 10- Hour General Industry

Instructor: Rick Craft, Authentic Safety

The 10-hour OSHA workshop introduces employees (workers, supervisors and managers) to the basic practices of identifying, reducing, eliminating and reporting hazards associated with their work. According to OSHA.gov, the OSHA Outreach Training Program was initiated in 1971, and has grown significantly in recent years. The train-the-trainer format expands the reach of the program to increase training availability. Between FY 2008 and FY 2013, more than 3.6 million workers were trained in job hazard recognition and avoidance through the program.

Upon successful completion of this workshop, participants will have gained a working knowledge of the basics of occupational safety and health and will earn a completion card for an OSHA 10 General Industry class. You do not need to know anything about safety ahead of time to succeed in this course. The entire learning curve exists within the 12 hours of instruction. This card does not expire, but some OSHA Outreach Trainers recommend periodically repeating the course. The class is delivered in an interactive training format. It does not make it possible for you to train someone else.

Who should attend? - Target audiences: Administrative and HR professionals in the manufacturing industry, facilities employees (electricians, boilermakers, plumbers, etc) at large employers, factory line supervisors and managers. Safety professionals who need a refresher course.
Upon completion of the course attendees will earn OSHA 10 completion card which will be mailed to them.

OSHA 10 Workbook and Lunch are included.
