Courses Meet OSHA Regulations
While some employers may feel like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration exists to impose fines and make their lives miserable, that’s simply not the case. OSHA exists to save lives, prevent injuries and preserve the safety and well-being of everyone who’s part of the American workforce. With such a broad-based mission, it’s only natural that OSHA requires employers and their employees to undergo safety training and earn certifications if they belong to certain industries.
THE IMPORTANCE OF OSHA SAFETY TRAINING
According to OSHA, education and training are essential in keeping workers and managers informed about workplace hazards and controls so they can work safely and increase their productivity. Through mandated education and safety training, OSHA aims to provide employers and all their staff members with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to complete their work safely and without creating safety hazards.
OSHA also strives to provide workers at all levels with the skills to appropriately identify, report and react to workplace hazards through education and ongoing training. Finally, OSHA strives to help people in certain industries avoid workplace hazards that might be unique to their vertical by having them complete specialized training.
If you’re skeptical about the importance of OSHA safety training, consider the following:
- About 6,000 employees perish from injuries sustained in the workplace every year in the United States.
- Around 50,000 people die as the result of exposure to dangers in their workplaces.
- Approximately six million American workers suffer injuries at work annually.
- Workplace injuries cost U.S. employers over $125 billion every year.
