New Missouri Statute Requires OSHA Training in Construction Safety

The recently passed Missouri House Bill 1549 requires contractors and subcontractors performing "Public Works" projects in the state of Missouri to provide their on-site employees with a ten-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) program on construction safety and health with the OSHA 10 hour Construction Safety Training Course.

All employees are required to complete the course within sixty days of beginning work on a construction project.

June is National Safety Month, according to the National Safety Council.  It's an important time to reinforce to your employees the importance of safety in the workplace.  Consider:

·    Every year, one out of four people sustain injuries serious enough to require medical attention.
·    Unintentional injuries, the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S., claimed 120,000 lives in 2007. They also cost the U.S. $684.4 billion in lost productivity, health care and related expenses.

Employers are encouraged to use this month to evaluate the safely level of their work environment. Are you ready for Safety Month?

Many employers face the double challenge of not only developing an effective safety program but also educating their employees regarding the requirements of their safety program.  Surprisingly, some employees are unaware of their company's own environmental and safety challenges.  These challenges leave the employer with significant exposure to potential liabilities from employee safety hazards.

The challenge is equally daunting for companies that manage buildings, whether they are industrial or office environments.

Depending on the type of property the manager is operating, the occupants may also be faced with hazards related to air quality and other environmental concerns in addition to other safety hazards.

During Safety Month it's a great time to evaluate your safety program.  If you're not sure where you stand or what you have on property, it may be time to call OCCU-TEC.
