Everyone Goes Home Today

Ever meet someone who impacts your life in a postive way? I was fortunate enough to have a dedicated OSHA Construction trainer. Jay started every day with his mantra above. He truly lives it in the company he represents as their safety officer.

After many years of doing many things wrong in the field – I used to validate my practices with such wisdom as “this is the way we always did it” or “who can afford this stuff?”. Hasn’t caused me any harm. Casinos thrive on this way of thinking.

OSHA is very clear about your role as an employer (supervisors – this means you as well!). Here is what the law states:

Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act states:”Every employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees”.

Just because a person has a family to feed they should not have to risk their lives doing so.

Would you feel your commitment meets this overall directive? Do you have the documentation to prove compliance?

The OSHA Construction standard is built of 28 sub parts (chapters) with several Addendums. The good news is not all neccessarily apply to the typical contractor. Do you know which ones do?

We focus on the residential contractor. Why? Because thats who we are. Our vast experience comes from being contractors in the residential remodeling and new construction field. We will keep you focused and bring you through the path to compliance. Why?

“Peter is an excellent instructor. I’ve been in the business 50 years, so normally during my two yearly excursions, it’s 6 hours of counting the ceiling tiles, but Peter held my attention for the entire time. He is very knowledgeable and I learned things I didn’t know before. Never too old to learn! Keep up the good work and great job.”

“The instructor was extremely knowledgeable of the Massachusetts and EPA guidelines. Not only did we learn how to use our books, fill out paperwork, watch videos, we also had some in class training on how to properly set up our job sites. I highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to get lead certified.”
