Occupational Safety and Health Training (Regular Training for Workers)
Occupational safety and health training is the longest and most tightly regulated of the five statutory mandatory training courses. It is not a once-a-year requirement: hours must be completed every half year (January–June and July–December), and they differ by group: 6 hours per half year for office workers, 12 hours for other workers, and 16 hours per year for supervisors. In this course, an instructor delivers the in-house training your workplace conducts itself, turning the regular-training items in Annex 5 of the Enforcement Rule of the Occupational Safety and Health Act into content built around your own processes, equipment, and work cases. We start the first session by confirming whether your company is covered, based on industry, size, and job type, so you never spend time on training you don’t need or miss training you do. The 6-hour and 12-hour half-year requirements are split into 2-hour sessions, and for every session we provide a training log and an attendee sign-in form.
Who is this course for?
