Great Stuff - I have several people working from home though, did you happen to find any guidance on what I need to do for them?

Eric. Good question. I've not seen any official word on that exact topic. OSHA issued a memorandum in 2000 saying they would not inspect the homes of workers who operate independently out of their homes. My recomendation in the past has always been to 1) make sure you posted a copy of the poster in the office their boss works out of, and 2) present a copy to worker at orientation for their records. Letr me know if you are aware of any other strategies.
ReplyDeleteThank you for these great strategies. Meeting all the requirements can be a bit stressful. By that how any training should be. OHSA is slowly killing my ambition.
ReplyDeleteMaybe post on company intranet site?
ReplyDeleteWhat if you have 3 office trailers at the same site one for safety one for admin and one for a sister company that is union and meets there at the union office? Do I need 3 postings?
ReplyDeleteChad, you must post it at a place where employee postings are customarily placed. So even if the union has its own trailer, the posting at the employer trailer may be okay as long as that is a place the workers are accustomed to finding such postings. If not, then posting at all the sites may be needed.
DeleteGood info, but we do not have construction trailers. Our employees drive from their home directly to the construction site, or multiple sites during the day. They do not report to the office or the shop. We do have foreman on most of the jobs, but not always. Where do you suggest we post?
