Red Flags That Alert OSHA to Your Company & Deem It “Unsafe”

Since the economic downturn, it seems that regulations and audits are being conducted more frequently.  Perhaps this is coincidence, but it never hurts to be prepared and to learn what OSHA is looking for and how to keep your employees and company safe from workers’ comp claims, costly fines, citations, and in the worse case scenario, being shut down.

With over 35 years of experience, CSA’s Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, Larry Marler, will be speaking to attendees about the most common OSHA violations companies are cited for. 

For instance, do you know when personal protection equipment (PPE) is required?  Whose responsible for wearing PPE and when should they wear it?  What about the right and wrong way to guard machines to prevent hazards?  Which equipment needs to follow lockout-tagout procedures?  How do you properly install and maintain lockout-tagout equipment?  How often should forklift training be done?  Who needs to have forklift training and how do you conduct it?  How do you comply with means of egress?  Do you have proper safety measures in place and training to ensure that employees understand the importance of this?  When, how and where do you store flammable products?  Are your handrails, wall-guards, stairwells and docks free from tripping hazards?  How do you properly train and document hazardous communication training?  Are you documenting, posting and maintaining records for important safety issues?

Who should attend this Insight Meeting?  Management and designated safety personnel

Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about all of these topics, receive handouts and ask Larry questions about material covered.  During this time, Larry can also arrange to conduct an audit of your location, a service provided free of charge to CSA members.
