AUGUSTA?SafetyWorks! through the Maine Department of Labor?s Bureau of Labor Standards is offering employers a no-cost course in Bangor on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Recordkeeping. Class will be held on Wednesday, May 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Tri-County CareerCenter, 45 Oak St., Ste. 3, in Bangor. Visit the class registration page at http://www.safetyworksmaine.gov or call 1-877-SAFE 345 (1-877-723-3345) to register.
OSHA Recordkeeping provides thorough, comprehensive, six-hour training for both new and experienced safety and human resources personnel. Employers will learn the OSHA rule (29 CFR 1904) regarding recording and reporting work-related injuries and illnesses as it applies to their organization. This class includes several hands-on activities on how to correctly fill out the required injury reporting forms.
