Federal law entitles all employees to a safe workplace. A safe working environment is defined as one that is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to … employees.” In this training, you are exposed to common OSHA-recognized injury, illness, and fatality categories. You will also explore examples of other sources of harm that may not immediately fall under OSHA’s General Duty Clause.
Topics covered include:
- Illness
- Trauma/Severe Injury
- Ergonomics and MSK injuries
- Mental health
- Job hazard analysis
This education and training program reminds employees that if they know the types of hazards that they can encounter in their jobs, they can guard against them and often prevent them from occurring.
