OSHA 10 Hour Training This is the bare minimum in getting started with your HFH safety program. It will be offered around the country at various locations or can be offered near your location with enough participants. At your request, specialized training can be tailored to meet your needs.

Legally Speaking You are required to provide a safe & healthful place of employment for your employees. You are required to keep an OSHA 300 Log if you have 11 employees or greater. You are required to report a death of an employee to the nearest OSHA office within 8 hours.

If you have an event that hospitalizes 3 or more employees for overnight stay, you must call your local OSHA office. You must meet or exceed your OSHA requirements; remember 27 states have their own OSHA and therefore exceed Federal rules. See: to determine if your state is one of the 27 states.

Key Elements of a Safety Program; “But Not a Complete List” Hazardous Communications Program. Create & maintain a listing of all Chemicals that are available for use on all work sites. Train workers of hazards & how to eliminate the hazards associated with these chemicals. Properly document this training and keep for 30 + years. Make the overall program available to any worker or legal partner at any time for review.

Emergency Action Plan. Properly placed & working EXIT signs. Who’s responsible for calling emergency help. What role(s) does each employee play in evacuations. Do this for FIRES. Do this for SEVERE WEATHER. Do this for TERRISTIC THREATS. Do this for anything else you can think of. Be proactive!

Competent Person Involvement in High Hazard Areas. Fall Protection. Scaffolding. Trenching & Excavations. Hazardous or Toxic Substances. Crane or Boomtruck Rigging Operations.

Properly Trained Workforce in Safety. This will be in the form of about everything you do! Detailed training requirements will be provided at the end of this program in the form of web links. The short list to emphases the key points are; Slips, Trips & Falls. Personal Protective Equipment. Scaffolding. Fire Protection & Prevention. Trenching & Excavation. Material Handling & Storage. Chemical & Toxic Hazards. Forklift Operations. Electrical Safety. Concrete Related Issues. Motor Vehicle Safety. Power Tools Stairways & Ladders.

Periodic Review of Your Safety Program. A Safety Committee should be formed to review the overall effectiveness of your current Safety programs. Is your training working or does it need adjustments? Are evaluations given out at end of training opportunities? Can your working team answer tough safety questions? i.e. Explain Haz. Com. Program; Emergency Action Plan; Fall Protection Procedures; Etc. How is your overall safety record? Are you satisfied with it? Have you had any insurance or medical cases? What are your plans to improve your safety program?

Our Moral Obligation “Legally” we are responsible by OSHA to provide a safe workplace for our Employees. “Morally” we are responsible by OSHA, Court of Law, Family Members, Jury, to provide a safe workplace for our Volunteers. Some Affiliates ask “are we legally responsible for our volunteers?” “Does OSHA apply to us?” Why? They don’t get it? I hope you do!
