This two-day seminar is directed to individuals who are relatively new to the safety and health field with three or fewer years of experience, or those with three or fewer years in the metalcasting industry, or for those who have multiple roles in addition to the safety and health field. The seminar will introduce basic safety and health terminology and concepts relevant to the safety field. This seminar will cover some specific OSHA regulatory topics such as electrical safety, arc flash, Lockout/Tagout (Hazardous Energy), machine guarding, respirable silica, emergency planning and fire protection. We’ll also present information about safety theory including topics such as the OSHA hierarchy of controls, incident investigation practices, general industrial hygiene concepts, dealing with drugs in the workplace, how to handle an OSHA visit, and tips for safety training.
The last session on the second day will have a safety and health panel to field questions from participants that weren’t answered during the seminar, or on which participants want further clarification. Students must be present for the full two-days in order to receive an AFS training certificate.
