There’s a good chance that at least some of your employees work somewhere other than your business headquarters-maybe they work at remote jobsites, or telecommute from home.
As you’ve undoubtedly discovered, it’s harder to get a handle on safety compliance when your workers are elsewhere. But you still have a responsibility to ensure safe work practices, control exposure to hazardous substances, and conduct prompt investigations in the event of an accident or safety-related complaint. You know you have to do this-but where to start?
Join us on September 25 for a 90-minute audio conference in which our speaker-an attorney and nationally recognized OSH expert-will address these challenges and provide practical tips for managing your remote workers and keeping them out of harm’s way.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- What the OSH Act requires of you regarding the safety of workers who aren’t under your roof
- Strategies to avoid negligent supervision and negligent training lawsuits
- Effective tips for onboarding and training workers at remote sites
- How to develop a fleet safety program for employees who spend a lot of time on the road
- The latest news about OSHA’s multiemployer enforcement program, and other considerations for off-site workers
- How to avoid the most common-and costly-problems relating to the safety of off-site workers
