FAQs

How long does the inspection take?

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the facility size.

Do you send reports to osha after inspections?

We are not mandatory reporters, so we do not send our findings to OSHA. All findings are for the site’s knowledge only.

Are facility safety inspections required by osha?

Yes, OSHA requires that you conduct “periodic safety assessments” of your facility, which means at least annually. The assessments must be performed by a qualified person who can demonstrate appropriate knowledge of OSHA requirements.

who can sit in on safety inspection results presentations?

Anyone can sit through the presentation. It allows employees to be aware of certain violations and how to prevent them in the future.

What does a safety manual entail?

Safety manuals are comprised of multiple, individual safety programs based on the hazards in your facility. For example, if employees use respirators, you need a Respiratory Protection Equipment Program. If you have hazardous materials, you need a Hazard Communication Program, etc.

What is a program manager?

Program managers are the people who will be in charge of enforcing the policies in each program. Each program gets assigned one program manager. You can have a different person manage each program, or one person manage all programs, or anything in between.

Are the safety programs customized for my business?

Yes.

A written safety plan should reflect your company’s operations, workplace hazards, employees, equipment, and specific safety requirements rather than relying on a generic template.

how often should a written safety manual be updated?

Safety manuals should be reviewed periodically, but at least annually, and updated when workplace conditions, equipment, processes, regulations, or company procedures change.

Is safety training required by osha?

Yes.

Employees must receive safety training annually. After a year, the certificate will expire and our system sends an automatic email letting you know it’s time to take the course again.

Do your courses satisfy osha training requirements?

Yes.

Our courses are designed to meet OSHA’s annual compliance and general safety training requirements.

They complement—but do not replace—the additional hands-on, task-specific training that employees still need for any hazardous operations they perform on the job.

What courses do you provide?

We have over 200 courses ranging from topics like hazard communication and emergency response, to respiratory protection and compressed gas cylinder safety.

what is a job hazard analysis (JHA)?

The JHA is essentially a questionnaire on an excel sheet that asks questions like, “Do employees in this position operate forklifts,” and, “Do employees in this position use hazardous chemicals,” etc. This is used to determine the exact courses that should be assigned to those employees. 

How can we ensure employees are taking the courses?

We provide training progress reports upon request, and assign admins in the system who can download those progress reports directly from the site.
