The OSHA 10-Hour Training program is a safety and health hazard recognition and prevention course geared to all employed on job sites and is designed to help individuals comply with federal OSHA requirements.  By having a staff informed of the hazards that are inherent in every day work on projects, the employees are safe and the company's risk of fines and penalties is dramatically reduced.  Safety training classes help establish a safety culture in which employees themselves help promote proper safety procedures while on the job.

In Massachusetts, a minimum of an OSHA 10-hour course is required training to work on public construction projects.

While the Democrats and Republicans battle it out in the media and across the country, all of us are struggling to shed the mantle of a depressed economy the last few years.  It is a little early to see how the political scene will play out but we are beginning to see signs of economic recovery – at least here in Massachusetts.

The OSHA 10-Hour Training program is a safety and health hazard recognition and prevention course for the Construction Industry and is designed to help individuals comply with federal OSHA requirements and reduce a company's risk of fines and penalties resulting from OSHA violations.

The course will focus on hazard awareness, hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention. Chris Ziegler will offer visual aids and real-life situations and experiences during training.

This course is designed for personnel in the private sector interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health outreach program to their employees and other interested groups.

The intended audience for this 7-hour class includes supervisors, crew leaders, inspectors and employees who will establish or oversee safe work zones in roads for temporary utility/construction/maintenance work (a few hours to a few days). This course focuses on field application of the 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Typical Applications (TAs), and related traffic control plans. Course participants will receive a printed copy of the 2009 MUTCD parts 1, 5 and 6 plus a pocket guide, course handout and certificate of completion.

There is no other program offered in the New England area that will provide your management safety personnel with the level of training that this four day program will offer.
