OSHA Training Center Spotlights Training Curriculum to Reduce Top 10 Most Frequent OSHA Violations
 
iipp ProgramsThe OSHA Training Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District is spotlighting upcoming occupational safety and health courses designed to draw attention to hazards associated with OSHA's most frequently cited standards. The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration publishes its annual Top Ten list of the most frequently cited standards following inspections of worksites to alert employers and workers to be proactive in identifying and correcting the most common workplace hazards.
  
Fall Protection in Three Steps:
Plan, Provide, Train
  
Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2012, falls to a lower level accounted for 544 construction fatalities. Preliminary OSHA reports for January, 2014, show numerous fatalities from falls, including a Clinton, Iowa, Wal-Mart worker who fell from a ladder, an iron worker in Seattle who fell from a scaffold, and   two Montgomery, Alabama, bridge workers who fell from an aerial platform.
  
Now more than ever it is essential for employers with personnel who work at heights or near ground or wall openings to provide comprehensive fall protection. Last year 8,241 fall protection citations were issued by OSHA, placing fall protection at #1 on OSHA's 2013 Top 10 list of the most cited violations for the second year in a row.
  
OSHA Training Center Offers Full Range of Standards Based Safety and Health Training in Southern California
  
The OSHA Training Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District has partnered with two outstanding organizations in the Greater Los Angeles area to provide a full range of standards based safety and health training to interested students in Southern California. Our partners include:
  
California State University, Fullerton, a major regional university located in north Orange County, about 25 miles from downtown Los Angeles, is one of 23 campuses in the California State University system.
  
Technical Employment Training, located in San Bernardino, California, provides certified employment skills training and job  placement assistance to enhance the employability of job seekers, facilitate career growth and assist employers in acquiring an exceptionally qualified workforce.
  
The combined expertise of these organizations brings vital OSHA safety standards training, Outreach Trainer courses, Cal/OSHA standards curriculum, and environmental courses geographically closer to our students in the Greater Los Angeles area. Courses are taught by highly knowledgeable and experienced subject matter experts from a wide range of backgrounds and industries, including lead instructor Dick Monod, with over 30 years of Cal/OSHA experience; Steve Garcia, who has over eight years of commercial, residential and demolition construction experience and over eight years of safety related petrochemical experience; and William G. Thompson IV, who serves as the program safety manager for the Airports Development Group (ADG), which manages the current 9.5 billion dollar capital development construction program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
  
The OSHA Training Center's Southern California partners are currently spearheading an important employment initiative, funded by a Workforce Investment Act grant, to provide safety training geared towards employing veterans in the petrochemical industry.
