Introduction to OSHA

Introduction to OSHA is an online course explaining what OSHA does and how it works: the OSH Act of 1970, the General Duty Clause, how a standard is made, inspection priorities and procedure, citations, penalties and the construction subparts.

• Know what the OSH Act requires of employers under Section 5(a)(1) and of employees under Section 5(a)(2).
• Follow an OSHA inspection from opening conference to walkaround, closing conference, citation and appeal.
• Find your way around 29 CFR 1926, subpart by subpart, and the consensus standards brought in by reference.
