MAINTENANCE RELATED TOSHA STANDARDS SEMINAR
The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry will present this seminar Tuesday, August 26 in Dyersburg, Thursday, August 28 in Murfreesboro and Thursday, September 4 in Morristown.
This workshop is designed for maintenance personnel who are responsible for or have a hand in many activities covered by TOSHA standards. In this seminar TOSHA inspectors will provide you with insights they have gained over years of enforcing the regulations. Since maintenance workers have responsibilities all over a facility, they are in a position to affect the exposures of many employees to a variety of workplace hazards. It’s easy to point out what is wrong but is another matter to make things right and keep them that way. Recognition of hazards and application of safe work practices by maintenance workers is crucial to keeping a work environment safe and healthful for workers.
For additional information or to register call 615-256-5141.
