How to Conduct a Mock OSHA Audit

Why Should You Attend:

Are you overwhelmed or scared and at the thought of OSHA conducting a walk-through of your facility?

Many owners, plant managers, supervisors and even safety professionals are overwhelmed and often don’t take the time necessary to conduct a thorough Mock OSHA Audit. Don't wait until someone gets hurt or OSHA fines you to get serious about evaluating the hazards in your work practices and in your workplace! Learn the efficient and time-tested way to conduct an Audit of your facility and then what to do with it!

Do the OSHA standards overwhelm you? Do you know where to start to evaluate the hazards at your facility?

OSHA’s General Duty Clause as well as the OSHA standards mandate that manufacturers and all employers in general industry take 4 actions to ensure a safety workplace:

1. Identify the hazards in their workplace
2. Implement ways to avoid or protect against those hazards
3. Train their employees on items #1 and #2, and finally
4. Supervise to ensure adherence to that training.

Sadly, many companies fall short not only in the supervision, but in the first three items as well. Furthermore, OSHA mandates that regular workplace inspections be conducted and documented. Just about every company could do better and knows they should, but often get overwhelmed.
