This webinar will cover the main elements of structuring an OSHA Compliant safety Program, oriented toward small business – for example, under 200 employees. Usually, an organization of this site will not have a full time dedicated Safety Professional, and the HR Department or perhaps QA/QC or production management will take on the responsibility. Oftentimes this safety responsibility is dependent on the type of business and general level of risk and exposure to employees. However, in the new COVID era, this responsibility has taken on a somewhat different dimension.
This webinar will explore the traditional role of a part-time Safety Manager, such as a Human Resource professional, in comparison with the responsibilities and job functions of a full-time Safety Manager. We will illustrate the essential compliance mechanisms and steps that an HR person can implement easily and effectively.
There are basically two performance levels associated with this functional area:
- New Hire Safety Orientation, including on-boarding, screening, background and reference, drug test, and other vetting protocols
- Program Maintenance: in truth, the job of assuring a safe workplace is NEVER DONE. We will share some tips and techniques to help the non-safety professional achieve this level of program maintenance

- Build a Safety & Health Program that meets OSHA requirements
