Program Description

Just when you think you’ve got a handle on OSHA’s complex rules and regulations, the agency issues a new standard, changes the record-keeping requirements or mandates additional training.

And, if one seemingly small regulatory change slips past you, your organization becomes a ticking time bomb, waiting for an OSHA inspection to set it off. Make a mistake in how you interpret those confusing existing regulations and standards – and whammo! – your company can be socked with staggering fines for OSHA violations.

What’s worse – much worse – is that when your safety efforts miss the mark, your employees are at risk for serious injuries, even death. Some 50 workers are injured on the job every minute of the workday. Safety hazards in workplaces take the lives of an average of 17 employees every week.

This Workshop Keeps You Current on the Ever-Changing Rules

Keeping your workplace compliant with OSHA’s ever-changing rules – and safe for your employees – is a never-ending headache where the stakes couldn’t be higher. But your job just got a whole lot easier, thanks to an intensive, new 2-day workshop: The Essentials of OSHA Compliance.

This must-attend training program features a comprehensive update on the very latest changes in OSHA rules and guidelines. In addition, it provides you with intensive training in solid, real-world solutions for maintaining OSHA compliance – and maintaining a safer workplace.


Plus, You Learn How to Handle One of Today’s Biggest
Safety Threats: Workplace Violence

In addition to this wealth of must-know safety compliance information, we’ll feature a special section on Preventing Workplace Violence. The alarming statistics speak for themselves: Some 2 million employees are physically or verbally assaulted at work every year. You’ll learn where your organization is most at risk, how to shore up holes in your security, and warning signs that an employee or visitor potentially may be violent.

You’ll also find out how to keep your organization’s bottom line safe from OSHA fines that can run into tens of thousands of dollars!
