OSHA: The Complete Compliance Workshop
A Two-Day Seminar
Meeting Code: KOD

Breakdowns in safety hurt everyone. They can cost your company staggering amounts of money in terms of workers’ comp claims. They can send your insurance rates through the roof. They can destroy lives, careers and families.

Out of all the reasons to attend this training, the most important one is to prevent on-the-job accidents. At this two-day workshop, you’ll gain the critical skills you need to protect your employees from harm. So, even if your safety measures are strong now, they could be better — and we’ll show you how.

You need to know the latest OSHA regulations like the back of your hand — and practice meeting them — to keep workers safe and to avoid fines. That’s why this course uses hands-on exercises to help drive home the skills you learn.

Plus, you’ll go back to work with the skills you need to build training programs that meet OSHA safety education guidelines . . . evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of your training . . . and conduct audits that keep workers prepared for any inspection.
