Maritime Industry Boosts Investment in Safety and Health Training to Counter Rise in Job-related Injuries
|
|
Employers in the Maritime Industry are increasing their focus on the safety and health of their workers in 2019. Investing in safety training has gained in importance due to an alarming rise in the number of job-related injuries that have occurred in the last eight months. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that employees are under-reporting injuries, which often leads to unplanned leaves of absence, impacting the entire work team.
Maritime Industry employers are now trying to stop this vicious cycle of injuries and absenteeism by creating a strong foundation for the overall health and safety of each employee. There is an increasing recognition of gaps in providing OSHA standards training to workers and a renewed commitment to filling those gaps. One solution is to offer 10-hour and 30-hour OSHA training to help workers identify specific hazards more commonly seen on vessels or shipyards.
OSHA 5400-Trainer Course for the Maritime Industry
authorizes participants to become trainers in the Maritime Outreach Training Program and to conduct both 10- and 30-Hour Maritime Safety and Health courses for shipyard employment, marine terminals and longshoring.
Course participants learn effective instructional approaches and the successful use of visual aids and handouts. If you are interested in providing
10- and 30-Hour Maritime Safety and Health courses to workers in the Maritime Industry,

OSHA Injury and Illness Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements Help Improve Worker Protections
|
|
This information helps employers, workers and OSHA evaluate the safety of a workplace, understand industry hazards, and implement worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards –preventing future workplace injuries and illnesses.
The records must be maintained at the worksite for at least five years. Each February through April, employers must post a summary of the injuries and illnesses recorded the previous year. Also, if requested, copies of the records must be provided to current and former employees, or their representatives.
The Injury Tracking Application (ITA) is accessible from the
ITA launch page
, where you can provide the Agency your OSHA Form 300A information. The date by which certain employers are required to submit to OSHA the information from their completed Form 300A is March 2nd of the year after the calendar year covered by the form.
The OSHA Training Institute Education Center is offering
OSHA 7845-Recordkeeping Rule Seminar
in multiple locations through the end of 2019. This half-day course is designed to assist employers in identifying and fulfilling their responsibilities for maintaining and posting records of illnesses and injuries and reporting specific cases to OSHA.
