By Josh Davis, Director of Workplace Safety

Do you ever find yourself needing safety expert support? Do you have safety topics that you need an outside perspective that’s not OSHA or your insurance? Are you a small business and need assistance to drive safety and ensure compliance? We are here to help. Utah Manufacturers Association offers many services, from comprehensive walkthroughs, safety program development, training, and Safety Subscription plans. These plans allow you to build customized packages to ensure you get the services your business needs at a discounted rate. Our safety services are performed by a seasoned professional. Joshua Davis has 30 years of practical industrial experience at companies such as Rio Tinto, Frito Lay, Owens Corning, Amazon, and Hunter Douglas. Some of our most popular services include:

OSHA 10 and 30 Hours Classes

No matter your role in manufacturing, our OSHA 30Hour Outreach for General Industry course is your guide to creating a culture of safety in your workplace. This course offers a comprehensive look at the policies, procedures, and standards covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1910. The OSHA 10-hour is good for anyone working in manufacturing and covers many of the items covered in OSHA 30 but in less detail.

In both classes, upon completion, students will receive a certificate and a wallet card issued by OSHA. If you are interested in attending one of our next classes or would like to schedule a class for your company, please contact the UMA.

“Having already taken an OSHA 30 class, my expectation was that this curriculum would be duplicated information that I had already put into practice. What rewarding and informational training this was!! I left driven and focused with a list of action items to risk rank, review and implement at my company. Josh created an atmosphere where information was flowing throughout the class and most importantly, I feel I have gained direct access to a committed group of EH&S professionals that I can continue to share best practices with and lean on for deeper understanding of the ever-changing demands and requirements of being a Safety and Health professional.” -Kim Krasko of Hoyt Archery

What is the UMA OSHA Top 10 Safety-Walk?

During the OSHA Top 10 Safety Walk, the UMA Director of Workplace Safety comes to your site and completes a hands-on safety observation walk through your facility, focusing on the current top areas that OSHA will. During this walk, you get the perspective of a seasoned industrial safety professional that assesses your facility with a trained eye. After the onsite assessment, you will receive a detailed report with observations, pictures, and recommendations. This report can be used to create a strategy for your company! This service is available as a Partner+ benefit or can be purchased from our services list. We’d love to be a Partner in creating a culture of safety.

“The Safety Audit walk-through ALONE was worth getting the Partner + membership – Our plant is old and massive in size – and safety guidance was acutely needed. Josh Davis’s brilliant observance of non-compliant identifications, coupled with uncomplicated corrective action options verbally delivered, allowed balance to replace our prior hesitant perspectives. His buoyant and forward-thinking approach while sharing a vision of excellence was contagious – the fog was finally being lifted. And that was just the beginning… Less than one week later, Josh sent a well-organized snapshot of his findings. In his email, the words, “Don’t let this overwhelm you,” showed his rare soft skills we all need today. Simple suggestions given on what he would start with first helped us confidently step into becoming compliant. The follow-up support and suggestions given since then has been extraordinary as well. Josh has championed the art of pursuing safety for all as well as the ability to patiently educate those around him. He did not have to care about the safety of the good women/ men employed here, but he did. He could have showed up to “just do his job”, but our experience has been and continues to be the opposite. If you care about compliance and desire the peace of mind it brings, your haven is the UMA Partner + Plan that includes this safety audit and all the support needed after. Your view of safety will be forever altered – you’ll wish you had met Josh sooner!“ - April Wilkey, HR/Safety Manager, NRP Jones
