Safety Training

 |
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to train employees in the safety and health aspects of their jobs. These requirements reflect OSHA’s belief that training is an essential part of every employer’s safety and health program for protecting workers from injuries and illnesses. All Statewide Employees have an obligation to take their provided regulatory training. The goal is to have all Statewide Employees trained by August 29, 2012. Make-up training will be held in November and December 2012.
*Note – Most regulatory training has an annual requirement, so if you attended safety training in 2011 you will still need to attend training in 2012. Ergonomics is the only training that does not have an annual requirement. Training sessions will be offered at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m..
