OSHA views enforcement of its general industry standards as vital to workplace safety and health. To accomplish its mission of reducing workplace injuries, OSHA continues to maintain its high level of workplace inspection activities. As a result, there has been 15% increase in the number of violations issued by OSHA last year over preceding years. Through this outreach training, supervisors and workers can be more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and what OSHA expects and is looking for. Supervisors and workers having some safety responsibility should therefore have this additional safety training to monitor, understand and enforce the goals and objectives of these state and federally enforced standards. This course provides this understanding through a five-day course of instruction, discussion and practical exercise about the major accident-causing hazards found in general industry. Persons successfully completing the course then will receive a certificate of completion issued through the OSHA Training Institute indicating their achievement.
