"The challenge of government employee safety is a difficult one,’ notes the Public Risk Management Association. This CIRMA workshop is designed to help local government provide the safest possible work environment for their employees."

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

OSHA regulations are sometimes complex and not always easy to understand. But one thing is clear: employers are required to provide their employees with a workplace that is free from recognized hazards that may cause death or serious physical harm. This CIRMA workshop will bring you up-to-date on the latest changes to OSHA regulations and help build your understanding of OSHA requirements.

Topics include:

Machine Guarding. This section explains the general requirements for machine guarding and precautions for woodworking, abrasive wheel machinery, mechanical presses, and any machinery with moving parts.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This section introduces you to the general PPE requirements, including eye, face, head and hand protection, plus footwear and electrical protection.
Industrial Hygiene. This section prepares you to assess the environmental hazards that may injure your employees. It will help you identify on-the-job inhalation, ingestion, absorption, injection, and physical hazards.
Hazard Communications. This section will increase your understanding of safe work practices for hazardous chemicals, including labeling and signage, Material Safety Data sheets, storage and disposal, training and enforcement.
Ergonomics. This section provides an understanding of basic ergonomic principles and how to apply them in office and computer workstations, laboratories, and kitchens.
