TOSHA SEMINARS OFFERED STATEWIDE
NASHVILLE – Commissioner Michael Magill today announced that the
Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development is sponsoring a statewide series
of seminars beginning this month. Individual Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (TOSHA) seminars include such topics as an Update for Health Care Workers,
Basic Safety, Maintenance Related TOSHA Standards, and What to Expect on a TOSHA
Inspection.
"These practical, information-packed seminars are designed to help employers
reduce risks to workers while maintaining TOSHA compliance and cutting workers’
compensation costs," explained Commissioner Magill. "Our philosophy is to use
compliance as an opportunity to focus on solutions to safety problems, that in the long
run will reduce costs and liability to the employer. Our commitment is to partner with
business to make Tennessee a safer place to work."
Co-sponsored by the University of Tennessee and the Tennessee Association of Business,
the seminars are an excellent opportunity to learn about recently passed Occupational
Safety and Health Administration regulations and standards.
According to Magill, employers appreciate the interest on the part of compliance
officers and consultants to improve TOSHA compliance through education. While enforcement
is obviously a necessary part, we feel workplaces in Tennessee have been made safer
because of these seminars and workshops.
To obtain registration information, contact the appropriate sponsor listed
below:
- Tennessee Association of Business (TAB)(615)256-5141
- University of Tennessee Center for Government Training (UT)(615)320-4962
NOTE: TAB members’ registration fees are reduced $50 for TAB-sponsored
seminars.
