Trenching & Excavation - May
22, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon |
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.

Safe Driving - June 5, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon |
Work-related vehicle crashes are the leading cause of
occupational fatalities according to the U.S. Dept. of
Labor. Small changes in behavior behind the wheel can
decrease the likelihood of getting in a motor vehicle
accident, and increase your chances of survival in the
event of a collision or other serious event. This
session will describe safe driving and accident
prevention skills. Your awareness of the need for and
the benefits of safe driving will be greatly improved.

OSHA 300 Recordkeeping - What Does and
Does Not Need to be Recorded -

The purpose of this workshop is to
introduce the requirements and procedures related to
OSHA Injury & Illness Recordkeeping. 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!

Construction Site Safety - June 12, 2012 from 9:00 am –
12:00 noon |
Construction managers, first line supervisors, and construction
employees will be provided with an overview of four
areas of concern on the construction site. Program
contents include:
-
Fall protection
-
Scaffolding and ladders
-
Electrical hazards
-
Trenching safety
These four areas of concern continue to account for the
greatest number of preventable fatalities in the
construction industry. Each person on the job site
should have a clear understanding of the hazards that
may exist, the ability to recognize those hazards, and
the knowledge to minimize exposure to those recognized
hazards through the application of proper safe work
procedures. After attending this class, participants
will be able to improve both OSHA compliance and overall
site safety. This would be accomplished through
systematic pre-inspection techniques and continued
on-site safety training (supervision).
