Training

Many regulatory standards and management system programs require the training of employees to maintain a safe workplace and follow company policy – in essence, to ensure employees have an understanding of their role and the “rules of the road.” Determining the applicability of a standard within the broad range of subject areas and your company’s specific circumstances can be a daunting task. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards make it the employer’s responsibility to limit certain job assignments to employees who are “certified,” “competent,” or “qualified.” Other requirements dictate “designated” personnel, i.e., those persons who are selected or assigned by the employer or the employer’s representative, as being qualified to perform specific duties.

Depending on your industry and specific facility activities, there may be circumstances where the requirements of one program overlap with those of another – hazardous waste; hazardous materials; hazardous substances. Being “hazwise” enables you to implement programs that are comprehensive and effective, leading to positive outcomes for the company and the employee.
