OSHA Hazard Alert Reports Preventable Incidents That CertifyMeOnline.com Aims to Address
Phoenix, AZ, May 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- In the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s latest Hazard Alert, a report of recommendations and descriptions of mandatory safety and health standards, it was reported that in a one-year period 10 preventable fatalities and more than 20 preventable injuries due to aerial lifts were investigated.
OSHA’s investigation found that a majority of these injuries and fatalities were the result of employers not addressing fall protection, stabilization and positioning of equipment. OSHA is urging that only trained workers operate aerial lifts and that employers provide training for employees that are in roles that require use of equipment.
Proper use of aerial lifts includes maintaining the equipment, following the manufacturer’s instructions, providing workers training and needed personal protective equipment, and implementing safe work practices.
“Safety is at the core of what we do at CertifyMeOnline.net,” says Tom Wilkerson owner of CertifyMeOnline.net. “For years, we have been the trusted source for aerial lift certification by employers, trainers and employees that need to comply with OSHA regulations. We strive to train aerial lift operators to identify and eliminate risk factors that will ultimately prevent injuries and fatalities like those reported in this OSHA Hazard Alert.”
OSHA standards employers are required to protect workers from hazards associated with operating equipment. Additionally, workers have the right to receive information and training in a language they understand regarding workplace hazards, methods to prevent them and the OSHA standards that apply to the operation of equipment.
