Under the WHMIS legislation, workers have the right to know about workplace hazardous materials and to receive effective training that can help them to work safely. WHMIS requires all suppliers, including manufacturers, packagers, processors and importers, to label all their product containers and prepare Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) for each of their products according to the hazard criteria given in the Controlled Product Regulations under the federal Hazardous Products Act.

All employers must ensure that the products used in the workplace are adequately labeled and that their MSDS are available before they are handled by employees. Employers are also required under the system to design worker education programs that enable the workers to know about the significance of labels and MSDSs and how to work safely with hazardous materials.

According to OSHA, the four leading causes of workplace fatalities are “falls”, “electrocution”, “caught in or between”, and “struck by”. Accordingly, inspectors will be paying more attention to these areas during OSHA inspections. The MARCOM programs listed below will help you address all four of these focuses, and avoid OSHA citations.

OSHA has issued its final rule allowing the agency to cite employers on a “per employee basis” for failure to wear/use required personal protective equipment. In addition, an updated standard for eye and face protection was recently issued by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010).MARCOM’s “Personal Protective Equipment” course reviews OSHA’s PPE standard and covers the many types of equipment used to protect workers’ hands, feet, heads, eyes, faces and respiratory tracts.

Recently OSHA sent an enforcement memo to their regional administrators reminding them that employers must provide all OSHA required training to their employees in “a manner that each employee can understand”. The memo made it clear that compliance officers are to verify that an employer is instructing its employees using both a language and vocabulary that the employees can comprehend. The memo’s main purpose was to make sure that Latino and other non-English speaking workers (who represent an essential part of many key industries) receive effective training.

As you probably know, the biggest piece of safety training’s cost is the time that employees are away from their jobs while they’re being trained. As a result, you are very interested in anything that can save time during the training process. MARCOM’s CD-ROM courses have a unique “assessment” feature that can cut the training time for the average employee in half!

Workers that are exposed to lead in the workplace face many illnesses and health concerns, but these issues can be easily avoided. With the EPA now requiring all firms that come into contact with lead based paint to follow specific procedures, this video is perfect for employees that will be handling lead during renovation and repair projects done in buildings constructed before 1978.

Summit’s comprehensive training program teaches construction and renovation workers important safety precautions to take while working around lead hazards, such as the appropriate PPE to wear and how to zone off the work area to keep toxic dust to a minimum. By becoming more informed, employees will take pride in knowing how to maintain a safe work environment.
