By welcoming community members\, students\, faculty\, staff and elected officials\, we invite all interested participants to join our engagement efforts to challenge misperceptions\, interrogate contradictions\, and explore solutions to community problems that respect all parties.   \nProposed Invitees \nCollege community; local community members; co-sponsors’ contacts; MCPS folks; donors

SUMMARY:Maryland MEP Training: OSHA 30 TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:Your company’s leaders have the significant responsibility of providing a safe workplace for their employees. But while recognizing and preventing injuries is essential for all employees\, supervisors also have obligations to maintain detailed records and undertake reporting to avoid infractions. Managers are also accountable for correcting safety concerns before they turn into preventable accidents. OSHA won’t accept “I didn’t know” or “that’s not my responsibility” as a resolution\, nor will it provide any solace to an injured worker or their family. Do your leaders readily know what their safety responsibilities are? \nOverview \nThe 30-hour course is a comprehensive safety program and is intended for supervisors\, safety directors\, and lead workers with safety responsibilities. This course is designed to provide information on OSHA compliance issues\, record-keeping\, and reporting\, and to assist employers in training their employees on the practices of identifying\, reducing\, eliminating\, and reporting workplace hazards. Students who successfully complete this course will receive an OSHA 30-Hour General Industry wallet card from the OSHA Training Institute (OTI). \n\n\nWhile certain topics are required\, this training can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization. \nTopic options can include the following: \nRequired Topics (13 hours total) \n\nIntroduction to OSHA and the OSH Act – (2 hours)\nElectrical Hazards – (2 hours)\nExits Routes & Emergency Action Plans – (2 hours)\nHazard Communication – (1 hour)\nManaging Safety & Health Programs – (2 hour)\nMaterial Storage & handling – (2 hour)\nPersonal Protective Equipment – (1 hour)\nWalking & Working Surfaces – (1 hour)\n\nElective Topics (17 hours total) \n\nAsbestos Hazards\nBasic Employee Safety Orientation\nBasic Industrial Hygiene\nBloodborne Pathogens\nConfined Spaces\nErgonomics\nHand & Power Tools\nHazardous Materials\nHAZWOPER\nFall Hazards\nFire Prevention & Protection\nFlammable Liquids\nLead Hazards\nLockout / Tagout Programs\nMachine Guarding\nProcess Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Materials\nRadiation Safety\nRecord Keeping & Reporting\nRespiratory Protection\nToxic & Hazardous Substances\nWelding\, Cutting\, & Brazing\nWorkplace Violence\n\nPlease Note: The 30-hour General Industry course is NOT equivalent to OSHA 511\, and will not meet the prerequisites to take OSHA 501. \nCost:  \n$750.00\n*Training is eligible for MD MEP’s Incumbent Worker Training Funds which can help offset up to 50% of the training costs. \nSchedule: \nThis week long training will begin on Monday February 27th and take place from 9:00AM to 3:30PM! \n\nFebruary 27\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nFebruary 28\,2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 1\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 2\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 3\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\n\nFor more information\, please contact Kerry Wells: kwells@mdmep.org
