OSHA Update for 2016

Duration: 60 minutes

Dealing with OSHA regulations is a reality of the job for safety and HR professionals. Whether you are responsible for the safety of 1,000 workers handling chemicals or in charge of keeping just 1 office worker safe from everyday hazards like slippery floors, it’s imperative that you stay on top of OSHA changes. You can’t just learn them once and be done with it.

The Obama Administration has set a rigorous regulatory and enforcement agenda for OSHA in 2016. This webinar will cover recent changes and how to prepare for upcoming and proposed changes.
