The Benefits of Complete OSHA Safety and Compliance Training

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 27, 2011 --

The US Department of Labor maintains annual numbers for workplace injuries on its website. Recent figures, at the federal website, discuss not only lost work days, but the consequence of different types of injuries. And those are only the accidents and lost hours, days, and lives officially attributed to an unsafe workplace. No one knows how many industrial accidents go unreported . In spite of increased monitoring of accident-reporting records by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)” , according to authors Robert L. Mathis and John H. Jackson. Incidents often are unreported because a company is basically not federally compliant, or is failing to take a proactive approach to safety training programs. What's more, 2008 was a safer year (in terms of fatalities) than the five previous years. OSHA reported fewer man-hours were lost in 2008 than in 2007, at least marginally, and that 2008 was the best year of the 5-year period starting in 2003.

Specialists feel that progressively safer workplaces are attributable to a national emphasis on safe work practices from effective safety training, specifically accredited and approved OSHA compliance training. Over the last 25 years, businesses have turned to the University of Findlay's All Hazards Training Center for valuable, versatile training in OSHA safety and compliance. Findlay has developed a track record of presenting effective OSHA safety and compliance training at its state-of-the-art facilities, the business' facility, or through on-line training.

Among the classes Findlay All Hazards experts teach are OSHA 30 hour training for both Construction and General Industry, the 8 hour OSHA hazardous waster site worker refresher course and the OSHA 500 certification series.

Many businesses confront the challenge of interpretation and compliance conflicting regulations at the state or federal level, or between diverse agencies managing industrial health and safety and those overseeing environmental compliance. These organizations have found that the special expertise Findlay's trainers have of differing goverment agencies, government jurisdiction and industry association standards is invaluable in ensuring their staff are trained to the correct practices and compliance guides .

A significant benefit to using the University of Findlay's All Hazards Training Center for OSHA safety and compliance training is its well-equipped training and simulation facilities, considered to be among the finest in the country.
