Whether you're employing skilled or unskilled labor, you need a labor force that is OSHA trained. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can penalize you - severely - if rules aren't followed. It is not an exaggeration to say that lives and reputations are at stake.
Keeping Employees SafeOSHA compliance is looked at by some as a hassle, but the bottom line is that it keeps people safe on the job. The OSHA list of Employer Responsibilities is long but reasonable. Compliance doesn't have to be difficult. With OSHA training in South Florida, businesses can easily fold compliance into their everyday operations.
These are the reasons we offer applicable safety training for the workers we help find temporary employment. By improving the training of temporary staff, we can make sure that they step into their roles familiar with compliance law. This means that you and the rest of your workers won't be exposed to mistakes that increase your risk.
Not all temporary employment agencies consider this a priority. OSHA trained skilled labor is a clear need, and while folks may have basic training, they may not have OSHA training specific to their specialty. If not, we can always help them with this. OSHA trained unskilled labor, however, is much rarer. This is a large part of why we offer this service.
Keeping You Safe
You don't want someone walking in and making a misstep that puts you, your crew, and your business at risk because they're oblivious to a “common-sense” safety standard. Such a worker requires on-the-job training, monitoring, and sometimes even the equivalent of babysitting. It's not always the worker's fault that they don't have this training, either. They may simply have not had the opportunity.
What you want is someone who can walk in and make the everyday decisions that keep everything running smoothly. They recognize risks, alert you to them, and then get about their job. You can trust them to do their job without making a mistake that OSHA training could have helped them avoid.
OSHA Training Options
We offer 24/7 access to safety training through online classes. This allows workers to become compliance-certified quickly. Interactive online training is best fused with their being able to ask questions and pursue knowledge further, which they can do by inquiring at our office. By using an online base, we avoid hours being missed while training occurs.
It's not like simply watching a video in class either. As we mentioned, training is interactive. This allows workers to ask questions; it also enables instruction to be tailored to a student's learning styles.
We can also bring a classroom to the workplace if you require OSHA training in South Florida for multiple employees. This can be customized to fit the needs and hours of your company.
OSHA training starts at the 10-hour OSHA General Industry training, perfect for OSHA trained unskilled labor. It ramps up across various OSHA trained skilled labor focuses, all the way up to 40-hour OSHA Hazwoper (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) training.
Keeping Your Business Safe
Obviously, the most important thing is keeping lives safe. You don't want employees put at risk. Yet it also must be said that you don't want to put a contract, your business, or your professional name at risk.
Getting penalized in an inspection can be brutal. It re-focuses your entire business around addressing the shortcomings. It can completely redirect a business's year and put you on edge about the direction of your company.
Even worse is someone becoming injured, sick, or being killed while on the job. This can give deliver a hit to your company from which it may never recover. If it was easily preventable through OSHA compliance, you'd also be penalized and open to litigation that could erase your ability to do business in the future.
It's not worth risking people's lives and safety. Also be realistic about the impact that overlooking OSHA compliance can have on your business's future.
Business is all about assessing a variety of risks. Many of those risks are about hiring, finance, the right contracts. When those risks are physical and can impact every other facet of your business, it's just not worth it to avoid or put off OSHA training.
When something as straightforward as OSHA training can avoid these risks and minimize your exposure, it's worth it to make sure your labor across the board has been trained. It keeps you, your employees, and your business's future safe. We can help.
