Corporate Training By Zack Academy - OSHA 10-Hour General Industry

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Why Should You Take This OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Health & Safety Course?

The Occupational Safety and Health Act was enacted to provide on-the-job safety and health conditions for American employees. The act established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and assigned it a general duty to ensure that employers keep their workplaces free from hazards likely to cause death or serious harm to employees. The act also gave the Secretary of Labor the authority to impose more specific duties or standards to certain high-risk industries by adopting additional standards if necessary.

The OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Health & Safety course teaches OSHA regulations and standards as they apply to general industry. The course covers practices of identifying, reducing, eliminating and reporting on-site hazards. It also teaches safety awareness and assists workers in recognizing and reducing risks in the workplace.

This course is intended to provide an entry level general industry worker awareness on recognizing and preventing hazards on a work site. The training covers a variety of safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter on the job. OSHA recommends this training as an orientation to occupational health and safety. Workers must receive additional training on hazards specific to their work. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention.

Please Note: One constant in OSHA law is that all employees are to be trained on the hazards of their jobs before they start work (HAZCOM). A Contractor selects specific training based on the needs of his workers and the potential hazards on site. 

After an employee has initial training, employers must consult the Code of Federal Regulations for annual or specific incremental requirements. Workers who are exposed to greater potential harm have more frequent retraining. 
 
 
Some OSHA Laws allow for retraining every three years, but there are exceptions if:
  • A potential hazard presents itself
  • A new danger, accident or near-miss incident is identified
  • There are employee job responsibility changes that require this specific training
