wondering what the hazmat training levels are?
Many workers in a variety of industries handle hazardous materials on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis and it is extremely important to ensure that any worker coming into contact with hazardous materials has the proper hazmat training levels and certifications to properly prepare them for those situations.
OSHA, the occupational health and safety administration has administered certain training guidelines and standards to companies and workers in certain industries. Typically these industries are the ones working with construction, machinery, or environmental areas of work but it can everybody should look to know if there are any training that there company needs to stay up to date on.
Typically, there are some topics where the training needs to be done face to face by a certified trainer and often times those training happen on site when the employee or contractor is first hired. Along with those, there are often training that require annual refreshers or re-certification.
AT Treu Safety Services and True Safety University, our recommendation is always to look and verify for yourself what hazmat training levels you will need to certify your workers and team in to remain compliant.
What happens if you fail to maintain the proper hazmat training levels or your certifications expire? Well, to start, your workers will not be guaranteed to have the most up to date and quality training available which can prove problematic and dangerous to everybody on the job site. In addition to that, if there is an incident on the job and OSHA comes out to see violations, they will want to see the certifications of everybody involved to ensure that the proper training was given in advance of the situation that happened. If the proper training was not documented or completed than it could be determined that the situation could have been avoided with the proper training and will result in a hefty fine, sometimes upwards of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the specific situation.
The point is, it is not worth it to risk it with safety training. WE know there is a cost and investment up front to get your team trained, but in the long run you will get that money back by qualifying for more contracts, having less incidents, less violations, and having higher profit margins overall. WE have heard some reports that suggest that for every one dollar you invest into safety, you will get three to four dollars back as a return on that investment into your safety program.
AT True Safety University, we offer a variety of online safety training classes in our world-class virtual training platform, True Safety University. These classes give you training your team needs in a way that they can access it. By giving them access to online training, you give your team the ability to do the training on their time.
