Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules are a good place to start when analyzing training needs. If an OSHA regulation applies to the operations, be sure to meet all the rule’s training requirements. There are over 60 OSHA general industry rules that include training or employee information requirements. And some of these have either annual or refresher training requirements. But that’s just a beginning.
To be effective, employers need to go beyond what is required. If an employer just trained on OSHA requirements, employees wouldn’t get training on safe lifting techniques, as that’s not required; but clearly it’s needed.
