Description
Understand OSHAs competent persons requirements and how to ensure employees designated competent persons satisfy applicable requirements.
Many employers and company managers responsible for operations and safety do not understand OSHAs requirements relating to competent persons. Often, worksites have employees with the expertise and skills to be competent persons but are not competent persons because they lack the authority to make safetyrelated changes to qualify.
This program will help responsible persons understand OSHAs requirements associated with competent persons and important actions required to ensure employees designated competent persons satisfy applicable requirements. Failing to meet OSHAs requirements covering competent persons can result in a poor safety record, injuries, hospitalizations, fatalities, and citations. The information presented in this webinar is critical to employers so they can ensure an effective safety program and culture.
