PROGRAM CONTENT This 5-day course consists of 40 hours of hands-on, face-to-face learning, which is delivered by an Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer in both construction and general industry. Case studies and workshops are used extensively to bring learning objectives into focus. Guest speakers from areas such as OSHA and other governmental agencies contribute to enhance the learning experience. Student presentations, daily quizzes, practical reviews, and a comprehensive final exam will allow you to demonstrate your competency.
THE COSS PROGRAM IS UNIQUE Not only will you learn how to read and understand the OSHA 1910 and 1926 Code of Federal Regulations and help your company avoid OSHA citations that cost millions of dollars, but more importantly, by learning how to work safely on a job site you can teach your employees and coworkers how to eliminate the risk of fatalities and near misses. Almost 85% of COSS graduates responding to a survey indicated that since taking COSS, their company's injury rate and/or OSHA recordables have decreased by as much as 25%, and others attest to as much as a 100% decrease! The class also addresses the psychology of safety, the true cost of an accident, hazard recognition, how to start a health and safety program, behavior-based safety, and much more.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE Upon successfully completing the program, you will obtain your National Certified Occupational Safety Specialist (COSS) designation.
