Pick Your Brain - Is Workplace Safety a "New" Concept?
 

Having trouble implementing your "new" Safety Programs? 

Gaining management and employee buy in is a constant challenge, but know that it is nothing new.... 

 

The first Risk Managers...

The Ancient Chinese (c 2,500 BC) spread the risk of loss by placing 1/6 of their harvest on each of six boats traveling to the market.

 

Origins of Worker's Comp?

Hammurabi (c 2,000 BC), ruler of Babylon, was responsible for the Code of Hammurabi, part of which bears resemblance to today's workers' compensation laws.

 

Did they use PPE?

Ancient Egyptians (as early as 1600 BC) recognized the hazards of breathing the fumes produced by melting silver and gold.


Did they have a Respiratory Protection Program?

Hippocrates (c 460-c 377 BC), the father of contemporary medicine, established a link between the respiratory problems of Greek stonecutters and the rock dust surrounding them. read more...

Safety News...
 

ExcavationExcavator Program
We will be offering a 1-day Excavator Upgrade and a 4-Day Excavator Certification class with our partners, the IVES Training Group. Each class will be followed by a Competent Person Excavation class. Classes begin in April 2011.

 

Partnership with CalAPA

Safety Center and the California Asphalt Pavement Association have partnered to bring members more options for safety training.

 

Stormwater Classes

California has adopted a new General Permit for stormwater discharges associated with construction & land disturbance activities. The permit will affect how your projects are designed, implemented, maintained, monitored & reported.

Course must be completed by 9/2/2011!

 

Did CalOSHA Make the Grade?

FedOSHA released its findings on state run OSHA programs including CalOSHA. California surpasses Federal law in many places, including our Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP).
