ACRA SPONSORED HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE TRAINING
 
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations affect
ACRA members through potential federal OSHA or state OSHA enforcement,
contract requirements from clients, insurance company requirements, and labor
relation agreements.  ACRA members that have been cited by OSHA have had
proposed fines over $ 10,000.00.
 
Two key requirements in most OSHA standards (e.g. Hazard Communication) are
for employee training and written compliance programs.  The goal of the
training program is to provide attendees with both the training required by
the OSHA standards affecting ACRA membership and to provide draft written
programs for use by firms sending attendees to the classes.
 
The coverage for the two and one half-day class will include:
* DOT/EPA/OSHA Overview of Enforcement
* Hazard Communication
* Respiratory Protection
* Bloodborne Pathogens/Biological Hazards
* Confined Space (Awareness Level)
* Personal Protective Equipment
* Lockout/Tagout
* Electrical Hazards
* Fall Protection
* Lead (Awareness Level)
* Asbestos (Awareness level)
* OSHA Recordkeeping
* Excavation/Trenching
 
Certificates will be provided to those completing the course, providing a
listing of course content and providing documentation meeting OSHA training
requirements.
