OSHA Fall Protection Training

Are you following the NEW OSHA Fall Protection Rules? Did you know that non-compliance could cost you up to $70,000  or more for each offense.

Safety experts have warned that after June 16, 2011 OSHA  will start assessing fines of between $3,000 and $7,000 or more for first time offenders. This new rule applies to residential and light commercial as well as heavy construction. Remember - ignorance of these new rules is not a defense. We are not trying to scare you - we are trying to make you aware. Be prepared, get trained and start complying.
