OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration training protects both the employee and the employer. The right training shows everyone (employees and employers) how to work safely and effectively, avoiding hazards, injuries, and other issues that could result in financial destruction and even fines for businesses. 

OSHA offers both 10 and 30-hour training courses, both of which help employees and employers learn to work safely, recognize hazards, and to ensure 100% compliance. Having knowledgeable and empowered employees is one way to ensure your company’s success.

The 10-hour OSHA training is for those just starting and want proper certification and knowledge of how to be a safe employee. The 30-hour training is for employers and business owners that want to provide a safe and effective workplace for everyone.

Benefits of OSHA Training

• Lower the number of accidents in the workplace – Accidents are costly for employers and devastating for employees. Having proper training helps reduce risk and ensure employee safety and employer success. You’ll have fewer claims to pay and healthier employees working for you.

• Attract more talent – When your company is OSHA compliant, you’re more likely to get talented individuals that want to work for you. When potential employees know you take safety seriously and care about their wellbeing, there’s more desire to work for your company.

• Knowledge is power – Accidents, hazards, and issues happen no matter how much you try to avoid them – it’s a part of life. Knowing how to properly handle the issues effectively and with the least amount of destruction is beneficial both financially and physically for you and your employees.

• Have higher company standards – Companies that are OSHA certified sit on a higher level, just for the certification alone. You instantly get a better reputation and it may even draw in more business because it shows that you care about your workplace, employees, and the safety of everyone involved.
