As its name suggests, the OSHA 10 hour training course is a ten hour session that has been designed by OSHA to instruct workers and help them recognize and prevent any workplace hazards. The main aim of all the OSHA safety trainings is to reduce the number of workplace incidents. The OSHA 10 hour trainings are available for workers in both the construction as well as the general industry. Some of the topics that are taught are: fire protection, means of egress, personal protective equipment and electrical safety to name a few. Once you successfully complete this course, you will receive an official DOL 10 hour completion card.<br /><br />As far as the OSHA 30 hour training course is concerned, it is a simple 30 hour course that provides students with a more in-depth view into the workplace safety standards and prevention of injuries. It is mainly for managers, superintendents and supervisors. Once you complete the trainings, you will receive an official 30 hour DOL card.<br /><br />The main differences between the 2 courses are:<br /><br />1.Duration of each course. One is 10 hours and the other is 30 hours.<br />2.Study details. The 30 hour course is a more detailed course.<br />3.The OSHA 10 hour course is aimed for the everyday worker while the 30 hour course is for managers and supervisors.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-2397922687938999882010-12-22T03:45:00.001-08:002012-07-23T21:14:40.047-07:00OSHA Safety Regulations - Ignorance is Not Bliss<span style="font-size:100%;"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTbiMcnQ7t0gGrlMbCaeIIAXV51NUtnHTQkzKpb8KiOAI4Zfdjk6gBW9vEx2MZ0SzzfjqCpaRl0RiM4KUJ58AfKlTJG-YayQn133WjGeda6_nfgSNxIxYD2Vhf46yjXQSNRPrk2d5qxrs1/s320/osha_10.jpg" alt="OSHA Safety Regulations - Ignorance is Not Bliss" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553472541097875826" border="0" /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">The United States, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), primarily sets requirements for OSHA training and enforces work place safety regulations, at over seven million organizations. Moreover, OSHA policies and standards basically govern all the activities of the employer. The 'employer' in question can either be the co-corporation, the individual or the partnership.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In accordance to the current situation, 23 territories and states have their own occupational safety and regulatory programs that apply to both the private and the public sectors. While some adopt the basic OSHA rules, other agencies have stronger penalties and stricter requirements.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Unfortunately, many organizations often claim that OSHA's safety rules and health standards are overtly complex and extremely difficult to understand. But, the truth is that many small and large companies have come to the realization that ignorance is not bliss. What you do not know about, will eventually hurt you.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Did you know that in the recent years, OSHA identified over 83,000 violations and conducted nearly 37,000 workplace inspections? But thankfully, there is an OSHA compliance solution.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The OSHA safety training courses are designed and developed by experts to help workers, employees and employers reduce the risks that are associated with several occupational hazards. They are informative, practical and highly beneficial in terms of profit, for they help organizations cut down those hefty medical bills.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">An entire race can thrive on knowledge, where as ignorance can terminate its existence!</span><br /></div></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-26563739581775452602010-11-17T00:40:00.001-08:002012-07-23T21:14:45.527-07:00OSHA Standards – Who really makes them<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">We have been told so many times that if we do not follow or comply with the OSHA standards, we will be fined or slapped with penalties. But, do we know who really makes these standards? Let’s look into how the agency got started and how the standards came into existence.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The main goal of OSHA is to ensure men and women in America are exposed to a safe and healthy working environment. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, OSHA holds the responsibility to set occupational safety and health standards.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Why the standards came into existence can be traced back to 1960’s. During this period, work injuries and illnesses were in an alarming growth with fatalities and injuries increasing each year. The industrial accident situation and records were deteriorating and rather than improving the situation seems to spiral down. This resulted in a dire need for occupational safety and health legislation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The safety and health legislation bill was passed on December 29, 1970 was then President of America, Richard M. Nixon. If you have no idea, this act is also as the Williams-Steiger Act to honor the two men, Senator Harrison A. Williams and Representative William A. Steiger, who worked so hard to bring this act into force.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">OSHA was established within the Labor Department by the Act and it was granted the responsibility to set and enforce occupational safety and health standards.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">To reach employees and employers, OSHA implements and enforces protective work standards and also mandates them to join the OSHA safety training program to make sure they are in compliance with the standards. To know more about these standards, you can register in the OSHA training course and get all the details.</span></div></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-63795994418542125192010-11-02T01:44:00.001-07:002012-07-23T21:14:52.173-07:00What are the OSHA regulations for Employers<span style="font-size:100%;"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 119px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HE-upStFrzBUU_TLyAzbawlykKuwEzW5JXB2puwZATR3H8tjNzcT6-1jtx4cQQ4so0UBpBGLKmKcLxS9ZiR4FEo9Ps82qVe1u38PpfBVniUjyRi7l6_dOmXqkkEKptw2Cokeu6FZtN0/s200/superstock_1166r-4676.medium.jpg" alt="What are the OSHA regulations for Employers" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534871855720980610" border="0" /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">Most people think that the OSHA regulations are only aimed at the workers. However, this is not true. Many of the OSHA regulations are designed to ensure that employers take an interest in protecting their workers from any hazardous situations and ensure that they are working under safe conditions. These regulations can cover a wide variety of topics ranging from reporting, recordkeeping and posting, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Many of the OSHA standards are pertaining to topics that include protection of individual privacy, access to records, disclosure of information, inspections, citations, penalties, recordkeeping, reporting, documentation and adherence to safety standards.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">These regulations help in ensuring a safe working environment and helps employers avoid penalties and citations. This way, you can save a lot of money that would otherwise be used up in the treatment of injuries and in the replacement of equipments. It ensures that your employees give in a 100% effort and increases the productivity.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There are many OSHA Training courses, each targeting a different topic. However, each of these courses has been designed to familiarize workers the fundamentals of health and safety at the workplace. There are separate courses for the general industry as well as for the construction industry. There are certain training guidelines that have been put down to help employers understand whether there is a problem in the workplace and whether it can be resolved by training the workers to identify and combat the problems.</span><br /></div></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-49545575342001331122010-10-22T03:31:00.001-07:002012-07-23T21:14:57.003-07:00Safety Means of Egress Approved by OSHA<span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwImi-AC7LKW8ep2IKbQ5HETf4eNcrXAgBLm4gYh9GevdPh9UeE2BZfQVhQ9F3elfLaaW2MhmvPbrjvOYsHEOXUQ10eAf-p9DP5J_B2RwwSqsgLmDo4Xbw3uwfM-XMGKEsXy_cFGqfHA/s200/hardhat.jpg" alt="Safety Means of Egress Approved by OSHA" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530817915655618434" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is an organization that lays down guidelines for ensuring safety at the work places. Safety means of egress is one of the issues tackled by OSHA. This applies to the doorways that are used for entering and leaving the building as well as the emergency exits.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">OSHA focuses on the design and construction of buildings in terms of exit routes. The basic requirement of all the exit means is that they should be permanent. Also, all the exits have to be separated from all the other sections of the building by fire resistant materials. For exits that connect three stories or less, these materials should have a one hour fire resistance rating. Buildings that have more than three stories should have materials that are resistant to fire for two hours. Adequate number of exits should be decided depending on the design and the structure of the building. OSHA approved 30 hour general industry courses teach the importance of safety means of egress.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Knowing how to leave a building or a work place in an emergency situation is also important. Signs indicating the means of exits should be easy to understand. These exit signs must have a lettering that is at least 6 inches in height with a width of three quarters of an inch. Also, they should be visible at all times. The exit routes must be kept free at all times. In case of construction repairs that involve the exit routes, temporary posting of signs should be used. Adequate lighting must be provided along routes for exits for employees with normal vision.</span></div></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-17318792420894918662010-10-11T23:27:00.001-07:002012-07-23T21:15:03.713-07:00How to Choose an OSHA Training Course<span style="font-size:100%;"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3HMfeP0DV95c9B9jqA4GZmT6Cj8XLkymUBRpa7VA4Jr5r8GWl43NdNxoVzXhYIDBi6qORDuJ0qWvD3UZixqF9EMaLVvzRlIE2l2Lr9fqHvEtj510CD852Maal9GXvej_TEoX7mo8fSIg/s200/crew1.jpg" alt="How to Choose an OSHA Training Course" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527044228980853906" border="0" /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">Today, many states haves started making it mandatory for workers and employees to be OSHA certified, thus increasing the demand for these courses.

An OSHA construction safety course will tell you that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, does not make any distinction, when it comes to the depth of the excavation site. Trenches on the other hand, may be defined as, narrow excavations, that are made below the surface of the ground. In other words, the depth of a trench is greater than its width.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The OSHA construction course, helps workers, employees and employers understand that every organization or company ought to comply with the OSHA standards, that are related to excavations, particularly, standard 1926.650.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Excavation site hazards can only be identified when the following steps are followed:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">1.Prior to Excavation or Trenching: The Departmental supervisors firstly, need to identify any buried utilities. They then need to safeguard all surface encumbrances that are located at the site. Finally, at each site there must be at least one competent person.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">2.The process of excavation: Trench shoring and trench jacks shall be on the site before any excavation begins. No one shall enter excavations that are four feet or more in depth, without having some sort of shoring in place.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">3.Inspections: A competent person must make daily inspections of the excavation sites. But if evidence of a situation that could result in a possible cave-in is found, then every exposed employee must be evacuated immediately.</span></div></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009549609377598846.post-28733102146937198132010-09-28T23:30:00.001-07:002012-07-23T21:15:15.537-07:00Some simple Fire Prevention Strategies<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 118px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIrYt8UDaA5AEi2x0RMwrCKBqf1cFoKD4HrahdtimBmG98avvZwEbj6PY-2cuWnpe1ym808C8_wzdb0znmzZ_NeQguMfODiUvECMVXEC16HalBihogxL3SYK0AYcbUUNwuUCkgoI2UK10/s200/employee-injury-prevention.jpg" alt="Some simple Fire Prevention Strategies" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522220718896584946" border="0" /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="justify">A number of common fire hazards are identified almost everyday in most workplaces.

Personal fall protection equipment includes:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Work Restraint Systems: These equipment types consist of a cord that should be arranged at a fixed length. This helps the user to prevent himself from going to the place that houses potential hazard. These places include the edge of a roof a person is working on or even a delicate and fragile surface that is likely to give in.</span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Work positioning systems: This type of equipment helps the user to work in a suspended position. If the user is working on something midair, this equipment either prevents the fall or limits it. But it also requires a back-up in case the main system fails.</span></span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Rope access systems: These systems have two kinds of ropes. One is called the safety rope and the other is the working rope. Both of these ropes are tied firmly to an anchor. They are tied to the harness that is worn by the user.
