Nebraska OSHA Training
Nebraska workers in various industries can benefit from OSHA training courses on workplace health and safety. Without a separate state program for the safety and health of workers, Nebraska businesses fall under OSHA jurisdiction and must follow federal safety guidelines. Even if your current employment doesn't require OSHA Outreach training, earning an official OSHA card is a low-cost way to improve your resume for future job opportunities.
Nebraska Labor Laws
The Nebraska Department of Labor assists individuals and businesses with labor standards and workers' rights issues, including contractor services, performing arts permits, veterans' preference and non-English speaking employment. Businesses can find useful forms and applications on the department website.
Also, the Nebraska Department of Labor provides free safety and health consultation services to help reduce injuries and illnesses in the workplace. There is no cost associated with these consultations, and none of the findings are reported to inspectors. You won't face any fines from the consultation, although you will be required to correct serious hazards.
Nebraska Top OSHA Violations
Nebraska's leading cause of workplace fatalities has recently been related to farming, fishing and forestry occupations. The state wants to improve this field as well as other occupational fatality issues through its Fatality Assessment Control Evaluation (FACE) program. FACE works to identify factors that increase workplace risks and uses that information to help develop effective safety programs to reduce fatalities.
The most cited standard, which receives the highest penalties, is for fall prevention in construction. Falls commonly cause serious work-related injuries and deaths, and OSHA has many guidelines to help prevent them.

OSHA Guidelines
OSHA's purpose is to provide safe conditions for workers. OSHA sets very broad and general regulations that most businesses must followed, as well as more detailed standards for specific industries, from construction to cosmetology and beyond.
Receiving OSHA training has benefits beyond meeting requirements and keeping employees safe. It leads to healthier employees with more ease of mind, which increases productivity. Boosting morale, it reduces turnover and the time and resources spent on recruiting and training replacements. It reduces productive workers' time away from the job due to injury and illness. This is all in addition to helping protect you from OSHA's retribution, as it can levy heavy fines for not following the standards presented in our OSHA courses.
