OSHA Holds You Responsible for What Your Contractors Do

OSHA doesn’t care if you committed the violation or if your contractor did it. They only care about the problem, how you’re going to fix it – and how much they’re going to charge you in fines and penalties.

Which is why you have to make sure your contractors are following the same OSHA requirements you strive for in your safety program. They’re part of your team now, and they have to live up to the same high expectations that you and OSHA set forth.

And with OSHA stepping up enforcement of their programs and regulations, who’s to say you’re not more likely to be audited these days – and then you could find yourself paying for your contractors’ mistakes.

Get your contractors on board with your safety programs and regulations so that you have nothing to fear from an OSHA inspection with this one-of-a-kind OSHA safety training session. Find out how through your own auditing and training process, you can see what OSHA would see and nip problems in the bud, before an accident occurs or you end up with a violation and a hefty fine.

Being pro-active with OSHA compliance saves you so much time – time you don’t have to spend on extensive inspections, fixes to problems, lost productivity due to accidents and issues. And, you can save yourself a heap of money that you’re not spending on fines and lawyers’ fees.

That’s why this OSHA safety training session is such a great place to start. In learning how to design a contractor safety program that really works, you’ll get action items you can implement on the job today to get better compliance, as well as methods for encouraging contractor compliance – make them want to be batting for your team.

And should inspectors show up anyway – there’s even a section on what to say and what definitely not to say when an inspector enters your facility or site.

If you’re working with and hiring contractors, and you need them to be on board with your safety program, save yourself the headaches, the hassles, and the attention from OSHA. Sign up today for this terrific new OSHA safety training session on gaining contractor compliance with your safety program.
