IAMU will be hosting an OSHA 10-hour Construction Outreach Course March 14th & 15th.

This basic safety course is recommended for workers and supervisors or those who have been  given the task of developing and managing their employer’s safety program.   

Contractors: Many cities also require their contractors to maintain a safety program to be eligible to work for them.  The OSHA 10-Hour course will help those owners, managers, and employees develop a solid  safety foundation at their company to hopefully avoid incidents while working for the city or utility.  Hiring a contractor to perform work for the city/utility does not eliminate all liabilities to the city.  The contractor’s incident could drag you into litigation.  This is why contractors you hire should have a strong safety program.    

Topics to be covered:  Introduction to OSHA, record keeping (300 logs), multi-employer citation policy, competent person requirements, OSHA’s focus four topics (electrical, fall protection, caught-in and struck- by hazard recognition),  health hazards in construction, personal protective equipment, and hand & power tools.

Participants will receive a  laminated wallet card from the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA certifying successful completion of this OSHA 10-Hour course. 29 CFR 1926 CFR Book & course material furnished.
