It’s a typical day at work, and an OSHA auditor knocks on the front door. Are you ready to wow them with your Environmental Health and Safety management system and avoid a citation and subsequent fines?
We’re now past August 1, 2016, the date in which OSHA increased its fine amounts for the first time in over 25 years. If cited, OSHA could fine the company up to $124,709 per individual willful or repeated violation. The period for repeat violations is now expanded to five years, up from three.
This session will offer insights on the building blocks that make up a robust EHSMS ensuring OSHA compliance and going above and beyond. In a fully interactive conversation, we will review the steps of an OSHA inspection and how best to handle each stage of the process. We will also review the list of records and other documentation you should plan to keep at your fingertips to respond promptly. The primary focus will be on how to prevent citations and fines by demonstrating a solid EHSMS implementation.
Please plan to bring your own experience and insights to share with the group, as this will be fully interactive with multiple opportunities for you to offer your thoughts.
