Examples

“In the material handling standard, 1910.176, OSHA only addresses the environment in which material handling occurs. Training is not addressed, but how can you ensure employees know the ins and outs of safe material handling? Awareness through training is the answer. Training will help employees focus on getting ahead instead of making unnecessary mistakes that put everyone behind.”
