As we approach the month of October, we would like to bring to your attention our next monthly safety topic. October is TOBA’s designated month to complete our annual Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training requirements. These mandatory training sessions are crucial for ensuring a safe and compliant work environment for all employees.
Annual OSHA Training Requirements
To comply with OSHA regulations and maintain the highest safety standards, we are required to conduct annual safety training for all employees. This is the same training that all employees receive on their first day of employment. The training can be found on the Waldsafe website (waldsafe.com) as well as the TOBA download site.
Throughout the month of October, it is necessary that you schedule and conduct these mandatory training sessions. The training schedule should be communicated to all departments, and it is essential that each employee attends the training sessions. If you plan for the month, you can utilize any down times that happen to complete this.
Documentation
It is imperative that we maintain accurate records of these training sessions. To facilitate this, please document each employee’s participation in the respective training sessions. This documentation will be kept in your personnel files for compliance purposes. Utilize the same sheets that are used in the initial training; only one sheet per person.
Responsibility
All employees’ active participation in these mandatory OSHA training sessions is required. Please ensure that everyone is scheduled for a training session. Please get these training sessions scheduled early so that towards the end of the month, we have time to schedule a training for anybody that may have been missed.
