Today's OSHA: A Compliance Update
A One-Day Seminar
Meeting Code: KOA

When it comes to complying with OSHA, you can’t afford to miss a single new regulation. Especially when the price you pay could be up to $70,000 for each violation. The sudden increase in the number of multi-million dollar fines shows that strict enforcement and harsh penalties are becoming the norm with OSHA inspectors ... and judges.
 
The last thing you want to do is to break the news to your boss that your company’s being fined thousands -- perhaps millions -- of dollars because you didn’t keep up with the changes in OSHA.But how can you get up-to-date FAST on the latest changes in OSHA regulations that your company is required to follow?
 
Attend this seminar and, in just six information-packed hours, you’ll learn how to avoid violations that could cost your company BIG bucks ... and maybe even put an end to your career. And, you’ll have the unique opportunity to ask questions about both old and new regulations. So you can double-check your compliance methods and make sure you’re on solid legal ground.
 
After the session, you’ll go back to work with a complete understanding of the latest OSHA regulations. Plus, you’ll know how to streamline OSHA recordkeeping responsibilities and discover and eliminate new worksite hazards.
