Calendar of Events
Fall Protection
May 7, 2024 from 1:00 AM to 2:30 PM
This class is being held in support of the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction! Falls are among the most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. OSHA requirements for the various fall protection options will be covered. The special requirements for scaffolding and residential construction will also be touched upon.
Heat Illness
June 18, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to heat in their workplaces. Although illness from exposure to heat is preventable, every year, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure, and some cases are fatal. Employers should create plans to protect workers from developing heat-related illnesses. Information presented in this session will help employers and workers recognize and evaluate the occupational risk factors for heat illness and to develop effective ways to control heat risk.
Trenching and Excavation
Julyl 10, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Studies show that excavation work is one of the most hazardous types of work done in the construction industry. Injuries from excavation work tend to be of a very serious nature and often result in fatalities. The primary concern in excavation-related work is a cave-in. Cave-ins are much more likely to be fatal to the employees involved than other construction-related accidents. This workshop will provide an overview of 29 CFR 1926.650 - 652, Excavations, including the role of the competent person.
OSHA Reporting and Recording Requirements
August 6, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the requirements and procedures related to OSHA Injury & Illness Recordkeeping, including the electronic reporting of injuries and illnesses requirements. The class will help develop skills to accurately report occupational injuries and illnesses. Resources and reference materials will be provided. If you are responsible for completing the documents required by this rule (OSHA 300, OSHA 300A and OSHA 301), or if you supervise the person that completes the forms, or if you are a safety committee member, this class is a must.
