You are responsible for maintaining records of the education, training, and supervision for each worker. This helps you verify that workers have received the training they need and serves as documentation that you have done your due diligence.
Leave the tedious details involved in managing an effective training program to us. We'll start by auditing your training records from all sources to uncover compliance gaps, then provide ongoing tracking and administration of your training program. You'll gain consistent training management across every location while enjoying peace of mind knowing that all necessary training has occurred.

Recognizing, evaluating and controlling hazards are the basic building blocks of any safety and health management system. Hazards cause incidents and injury - controlling hazards prevents incidents. Without a solid understanding of this area, a system cannot be effective. This program is designed to inform and motivate participants as well as provide them effective tools to implement a successful hazard recognition program in their organization, or update an existing program.

De-energization means removing the energy from machinery or equipment. Lockout refers to using lock(s) to isolate an energy source or to ensure machinery or equipment is inoperable.
De-energization and lockout must be done in combination to effectively prevent the release of energy that could potentially cause injuries.
There are often hidden sources of energy still present even after the main energy source has been disconnected from the equipment. These hidden energy sources are commonly known as kinetic energy and potential energy. To properly de-energize equipment, it's essential that employers implement controls to eliminate or reduce the risk of these energy sources.
Everyone in a workplace shares responsibility for safety, based on their own level of authority and ability. That’s the central message behind the Internal Responsibility System (IRS).
