Georgia OSHA Safety Training
OSHA Safety Training is provided to workers in Georgia through the federal OSHA Outreach Training Program courses. These courses are available both online, through self-paced computer training and on-site courses provided under the OSHA Outreach Training Program. Since Georgia is not a State Plan state, employers operate under the federal guidelines established under the OSH Act of 1970. The OSHA General Duty Clause mandates that all companies provide a safe environment for their workers.
The Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) overseas all governmental surveillance and compliance of state and federal regulations and directives. The Georgia Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Program, part of GDPH, uses it’s endeavors to monitor workplace related injuries and illnesses, then use that information to create new guidelines that will help prevent those risks to the State’s workforce. More than four million people age 16 years and older make up Georgia’s workforce.
Georgia OSHA Safety Training For Non-State Plan States
OSHA Safety Training is suggested and encouraged through the various Georgia state agencies. Georgia is not an OSHA State Plan participant. While the Georgia monitors workplace compliance, company compliance is largely based in federal OSHA regulations, guidelines, rules and directives. OSHA established the OSHA Outreach Training Program to provide workers with an easy way to study and receive their OSHA Wallet Card. For construction workers, this includes the OSHA 10 Hour Construction Training Course which is an essential training course that covers a wide variety of OSHA monitored safety hazards. Once you enroll in the course, you have access to a FREE, downloadable Study Guide to complete the content in just two days. If you need more time, you can take up to 180 days to complete the course. At the end, upon passing the final exam, you’ll immediately receive a certificate of completion. Your Department of Labor OSHA Wallet Card will be sent later (usually 4-6 weeks).
Those workers that need their Georgia OSHA Safety Training but are not in the construction industry, are encouraged to take the OSHA 10 Hour General Industry Training Course. This OSHA-Accepted course covers the essential training for workers that are in manufacturing, distribution, health care, institutions of education and other non-construction industries. Similarly, the 10 hour course can be taken on line and finished in a two-day time period (with up to 180 days maximum). The DOL OSHA Wallet Card follows a few weeks later.
Georgia OSHA Safety Training also has courses for supervisors, foremen, line managers and executives on basic safety and the principles of managing risk. The OSHA 30 Hour Construction Course is available through computer-based, online instruction. This course is also available with its FREE, downloadable study guide. The 30 hour course is typically a four day effort online. The instructions allow you to log in and out of multiple computers to take your training.
