Oklahoma OSHA Training

Oklahoma workers can promote safer workplaces by completing OSHA training. Even if your current employer does not require OSHA Outreach training, earning an official OSHA card is a low-cost way to improve your resume for future job opportunities. Without a separate state program for the safety and health of workers, Oklahoma businesses fall under OSHA jurisdiction and must follow federal guidelines for workplace safety.

Oklahoma Top OSHA Violations

Oklahoma's leading cause of workplace fatalities in recent years has been related to transportation and material moving. Though there can be many causes for this type of tragedy, backover, which occurs when a reversing vehicle hits a worker behind it, is common. Nationwide, more than 70 workers were killed in this manner in 2011.

The most cited standard, which also 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.
