Construction - OSHA Construction Basics, for any Jobsite
Overview:
Real world examples of what to expect, and what to prepare for whenever possible. Not every organization is ready to avoid inspections or fines if they do not have senior staff in place, and/or if they have not been audited in the past.
How to train staff to have the correct documentation in place. Ensure that the organization keeps documentation updated and realistic. If an employee is nervice and informs the inspector/auditor wrong information, a strong documentation system will support all of the proper steps that are in place.
What to strive for and whom to ask for help and assistance is always important. If an employee does not know or is unsure of the answer, they need to be aware of whom they may contact, or where they can go for the applicable information. This is key to keep any mistakes to a minimum.
A strong understanding of interviews is important. Do not ramble about what an organization is doing right or wrong. Simply answer the questions, and provide the needed documentation as requested.
Is control in place to ensure that old documents are destroyed or taken out of service? This could be the difference between be in or out of compliance. Compliance isn’t just passing an audit, it is keeping employees and work areas safe for everyone. Especially for construction that directly affects or involves the public. These are daily if not hourly concerns that must be addressed and controlled.
