He also noted the course will cover information regarding workers’ rights, employer responsibilities, attaining and maintaining compliance, and how to file a complaint.
“The three-session course will help workers stay up to date with their OSHA safety requirements,” Hazelwood added. It also includes detailed information on OSHA’s “Focus Four” (Fall Hazards, Caught-In-Between Hazards, Struck-By Hazards and Electrical Hazards).
