You may or may not be aware that a sizeable amount of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) focus is on employee education and training in the workplace. For some time though, this information hasn’t been easy to locate because a great deal of it is spread throughout their standards publication and within other regulations. In response to this “missing section” a recent collection of OSHA standards that are employee-training specific has been produced that aims to be a useful reference.
Although they do represent a condensed version of the standards and are not 100% authoritative, this site provides an invaluable resource for managers. Across the board standards such as emergency and fire evacuation plans are listed as well as considerations for specialized industries that deal with chemicals and radiation. Also, this reference provides detail on the safe use of heavy duty material handling machinery for both commercial and industrial jobsites.
